Redruth camping stove fire

12:00pm Monday 20th August 2012 in News

Eight fire-fighters had to be drafted in to help tackle a fire involving a gas camping cylinder in Redruth.

The crews were called out to Radnor Road just before 1pm on Thursday.

A fire service spokesman said that the caller had attempted to smother the fire using a fire blanket, however the flames would not go out.

The camping stove was in a barn, and crews used a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher and two breathing apparatus to fully extinguish the fire.
