Fire quickly contained

The "Vos Raasay" sparked another emergency call-out on Sep 26, 2013, at 12.40 p.m. following a small fire in the ship’s store room. Eight fire crews – including two crews from Lowestoft South, one from North Lowestoft, two crews from Great Yarmouth, two crews from Beccles, and a crew from Southwold – were called following reports from Port Authority that the ship had caught fire while undergoing welding repair work. The small fire affected the storeroom of the ship docked at North Quay in Lowestoft, but the blaze was out by the time firefighters arrived. After an inspection of the vessel, one member of the ship’s crew was taken to hospital for treatment for light smoke inhalation. Firefighters used a thermal imaging camera to check the fire had not spread before leaving the scene at around 1.30 p.m. Report with photo: http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/blaze_quickly_dealt_with_in_storeroom_of_ship_docked_in_lowestoft_1_2819150
