Investigation into cause of blaze underway
One person needed treatment for smoke inhalation following a flat fire in Anagh Coar last night.
The Emergency Services Joint Control Room received the call at 8.30pm, with the first fire appliance arriving at the two-storey building of flats five minutes later to find flames issuing from multiple windows.
The sole occupant was discovered at the front door to the heavily smoke-logged flat and received immediate treatment at the scene before being taken to Noble's Hospital as a precaution.
An investigation into the cause of the fire is underway.
In total, 25 members of the fire service were needed to tackle the flames, with support from the Isle of Man Ambulance Service, Isle of Man Constabulary, Isle of Man Energy, Manx Utilities and Douglas City Council.
Crews spent around 2.5 hours at the scene, with a fire appliance from Laxey relocated to Douglas during the incident to provide appropriate cover.
