school field - Nantwich Fire Station - August 2020 (2) (1)

Fire crews tackled an electricity pole fire near Nantwich on Christmas Day.

The incident happened on Dairy Lane at around 4am yesterday (December 25).

A fire crew from Nantwich were called out and Dairy Lane was closed after emergency and electricity services attended.

Power cables had failed and closures were in place as there was a risk of falling cables.

A Cheshire Fire spokesperson said: “Once the electricity was isolated, firefighters used hose reel jet to dampen down the pole after a small fire had broke out and self extinguished.

“A thermal imaging camera was used to monitor a nearby home to ensure there were no hotspots.”
