At around 1pm this afternoon crews from Rushen and Malew together with Duty Officer were dispatched to a house fire in Port Erin.
Upon arrival crews were faced with a well developed structure fire which had affected all rooms within the property.
After quickly confirming that all occupants were out of the building crews initially tackled the blaze from outside before entering the property wearing breathing apparatus to fully extinguish the fire.
House fire
The activation of the smoke alarm meant that the occupant was alerted to the fire and thanks to the actions of a neighbour the emergency services were called quickly.
One of the occupants had to be airlifted from scene for treatment by the Isle Of Man Ambulance Service.
At this time the Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service are unaware of the condition of the individual and would please ask the public to not speculate at this time.
