Firefighters called to house collapse in Portsmouth

 

Firefighters were called at 08:30 to Langford Road in Portsmouth after a terraced house collapsed this morning.

One crew from Southsea Fire Station and a USAR advisor were in attendance to assess the damage and make the scene safe.

Two casualties were treated by South Central Ambulance Service paramedics before they were taken onto hospital.

A number of houses were evacuated and the road was closed as a cordon was put in place.

The incident was handed over to Hampshire Constabulary and Portsmouth City Council engineers as utility companies worked to isolate the power and gas supply.

HIWFRS returned to station following the stop message at 11:08.
