Fire crews attend multiple flooding incidents

Fri, 07 Oct 2022

Fire crews from Douglas and Laxey were called to multiple scenes of flooding in the Douglas and Onchan area earlier follwoing heavy rain.

Firefighters attended multiple properties to aid with the pumping out of water to ensure the safety of the occupants.

Due to the multiple incidents occurring at the same time our resources were placed under pressure and Laxey crews were called in to aid Douglas during the busy time.

The fire service is asking people to be wary of the changing weather conditions and start to prepare for the colder, wetter months by ensuring there property has clear drains and guttering and if you have a coal or solid fuel burning fire that it has been swept in the last 6 months.
