Crews were sent to a report of smoke within a loft of a domestic property. On arrival crews confirmed the loft was full of smoke and got to work to identify the cause.
The cause was discovered as a small fire within the electric meter cupboard, which caused the loft to fill with smoke, via the cavity walls. The fire was extinguished using a dry powder extinguisher.
