🚨 Smoke Alarm! 🚨
An early morning fire in Swansea sparked a swift evacuation as smoke filled the Burrows Chambers flats in the Maritime Quarter. Four fire crews from across the city rushed to tackle the blaze that began in a ground-floor flat, using hose reel jets and specialised gear to bring it under control within just over an hour.
The fire broke out around 7:44 am, and prompted a full evacuation of the building as smoke spread to nearby properties. Thankfully, the efficient response from the crews at Swansea Central, Swansea West, Port Talbot, and Morriston fire stations kept everyone safe, and they wrapped up the scene by 8:50 am.
The Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service is dedicated to keeping communities safe. They offer complimentary “Safe and Well Visits” to ensure a safer home environment for residents. These visits cover essential fire safety checks and provide advice on smoking cessation, home security, fall prevention, scam awareness, and reducing isolation.
