A resident was taken to hospital after a fire in a Douglas block of flats in the early hours of this morning.
Firefighters were called to the flats at about 3am (November 12).
A fire service spokesperson said: “One member of the public was removed from the property by fire crews.”
Three people were treated for smoke inhalation. One person was taken to Noble’s Hospital for further observation.
The blaze was in a kitchen at the flats.
Firefighters used a positive pressure fan to clear smoke from the property and gas detectors were deployed to check conditions before residents were allowed to return to their homes.
Earlier in the morning, at 1.45am, firefighters had been called to a different structure fire in Douglas. This turned out to be due to burned food.
A fire service spokesperson said: “At this time we would like to remind households to leave cooking hobs clear of combustible items, storing items not designed for use with a hob poses a fire risk.”
