Firefighters tackle 'severe' blaze in St Brelade garage

On Saturday evening, crews were called to a detached garage that was on fire.

Just after 11 pm on Saturday 11 October, crews were called to a detached garage in St Brelade engulfed in flames.

It was producing large amounts of smoke due to combustibles inside.

Due to the heavy smoke, residents were advised to return indoors and close windows until it was safe to do so.

The fire was brought under control and prevented from spreading further.

The intensity of the fire caused extensive damage to the garage and made the roof structure unsafe. Therefore, the Aerial Ladder Platform was used to remove unstable sections, so firefighters could fully extinguish the fire.

Crews remained in attendance for around four hours before handing the site over to the occupier, Island Energy, and the Jersey Electricity Company to ensure the area is safe.

At the height of the operation, 22 firefighters were on scene.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
