Firefighters attending a fire

Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service were called to a property fire in Niton shortly after 17.00 this evening following reports of smoke seen coming from a flat.

Puckaster Lodge off of Puckaster Lane is a former cottage and has in more recent times been converted into a block of flats.

Fire crews worked overnight to extinguish the fire - at its height dozens of firefighters from across the island tackled the blaze.

Fire crews remained at the property damping down over night into the morning. No-one was injured and the cause of the fire is unknown.
