Firefighters battled for hours to bring under control a major blaze in a derelict Douglas building.
Reports of a fire breaking out at Seacourt, a disused block of flats in Victoria Road started to come in at about 10pm yesterday (October 12).
It took hours for firefighters to bring the flames under control.
Police closed off parts of the road and also parts of Glencrutchery Road as the emergency services dealt with the emergency. The roads are now open.
Residents in the area reported a strong smell of smoke soon after the fire broke out, believed to be about 10pm.
Crews were still on the scene earlier this morning, working to dampen down the scene of the fire.
