Jet-ski blaze tackled by Gosport firefighters

Shortly after midday crews from Gosport and Hightown fire stations were called to a property on St Vincent Road following reports of a blaze involving a jet ski in the front garden.

Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus stopped the blaze using hose reel jets before clearing smoke from the property with ventilation fans.

The property wasn’t involved in the fire but did suffer smoke damage.

It is believed the fire was set deliberately so police were informed and fire investigators attended the scene.

Crews conducted a home fire safety visit before leaving the scene at around half one this afternoon.

One crew returned later in the afternoon to conduct a reinspection.
