Apartment block on the Isle of Man, UK evacuated following toaster fire

An apartment block in the Douglas region of the Isle of Man in the UK had to be evacuated following a fire that broke out from a toaster on the third floor of the building.
The building, on Queen’s Promenade, was attended to by firefighters at 10:30 on the 18th December, who tended to the seven-storey building as quickly as possible,
There were no injuries as a result of the blaze, however one person had to be taken to hospital purely for precaution based reasons.
Speaking in the aftermath of a fire, a spokesman for the Island of Man Fire and Rescue service heaped praise on “quick-thinking neighbours” who had managed to safely get a resident in the building who had mobility problems out of harm’s way.
