KITCHEN FIRE SEES CREWS RESPOND TO TERRACED NEWPORT HOME

A small kitchen fire inside a terraced Newport property has been quickly contained and extinguished by firefighters tonight (Friday). 2 appliances from Newport were mobilised to Caesars Road at around 21:30 to reports of a fire inside a residential address, with 2 breathing apparatus wearers committed on arrival. The swift response by both wholetime and retained crews has meant a timely stop to the incident. The extent of the damage is unclear at this time, but it appears all persons have escaped injury. Caesars Road is currently blocked in both directions as fire crews carry out further checks, provide crucial safety advice and make up the appliances.
