Firefighters extinguished a fire in Chelmsford this afternoon after a plug socket overheated and set alight. The first floor of the property has been fully damaged by the fire.
Watch Manager Andy Edwards said: “When we arrived, we found a fully developed fire on the first floor of the property. Firefighter Small and Firefighter Devlin went in with Breathing Apparatus and did an amazing job in difficult conditions.
“Unfortunately, the whole first floor has been damaged by the fire and the rest of the property is heavily damaged by smoke and water. The cause of the fire was an overheated plug socket used for a gaming device.
“Please look out for the danger signs with electrical appliances. Hot plugs or sockets, scorch marks, fuses that often blow, or flickering light are all signs of loose wiring or other electrical problems.”
