Fire crews from Southampton tackle large garden building blaze in Harefield
Control room operators received multiple calls after a bonfire spread to three outbuildings causing a large smoke plume over the Harefield area of Southampton on Sunday evening.
Crews from Hightown, St Mary’s, Eastleigh, Botley and Portchester were called out at 17:46 to the garden on Somerton Avenue.
Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus tackled the fire using jets and hose reels as they also worked to remove a number of cylinders from the blaze before they were made safe.
Hightown firefighters remained on the scene to dampen down and conduct a number of Safe and Well visits at neighbouring properties.
The stop message came in at 10:05pm before crews returned to station.
