Firefighters tackle Hastings house fire

Four crews and the fire service’s Aerial Ladder Platform (ALP) were called to a home in Mount Pleasant Road at around 4.33pm after reports of a fire on the first and second floors of the property.

Firefighters wearing breathing equipment tackled using a hose reel jet, a main jet and firefighting foam.

The cause of the fire was found to be accidental with the last crews leaving the scene at around 8.45pm. A re-inspection carried out later in the evening.
