Crews attend more than 125 incidents during busy 24-hours

FIREFIGHTERS were kept on their toes during the last 24-hours, as they attended more than 125 incidents across the Strathclyde area.

At around 2.10am this morning, crews from Oban were called to the town's Combie Court following an emergency 999 call. Crews arrived on scene to find a small fire in the kitchen of a top-floor flat and were able to quickly extinguish the fire and removed the affected objects from the house. A woman, who had suffered slight smoke inhalation during the fire, was taken to Lorne and Islands Hospital for further treatment.

Earlier, at around 7.45pm yesterday evening, crews from Clydesmill and Hamilton were called to Blantyre's Whistleberry Park Industrial Estate after reports of a fire in the doorway of a single-storey commercial property. Within minutes crews arrived at the scene and, wearing breathing apparatus sets, quickly extinguished the fire using hosereel jets. Once the fire was extinguished crews stripped away the external fittings of the doorway to ensure that the fire had not spread, bringing the incident to a safe conclusion.

Finally, at around 3.10pm yesterday afternoon, firefighters from Hamilton were called to Low Waters Road after reports of a road traffic collision. On arriving at the scene crews found that the drivers of the two cars involved in the accident had managed to escape their vehicles. Firefighters then worked to stabilise the vehicles and make the scene safe for other road users. Both of the drivers involved were given precautionary checks by paramedics at the scene.
