Fire at Clos Gosset

11 July 2011

Fire crews were called to the property at Clos Gosset in St Saviour on Saturday 9 July after a fire broke out in an upstairs bedroom. The three occupants had been alerted by a smoke alarm.

The fire had taken hold on the first floor landing and there were fears it could spread to the roof.

Watch Commander Larry Vibert from Jersey Fire and Rescue Service said: "Once again occupants have been alerted to and escaped unharmed from a property involved in fire by the early warning of a working smoke alarm, which has enabled the Fire and Rescue service to arrive quickly on scene and prevent unnecessary further damage to the property."
