TWO crews are currently fighting a fire at an empty house on Heath Street.

Firefighters were called at 8.55am and on arrival found the ground floor of the property to be heavily smoke logged.

Four firefighters wearing breathing apparatus forced entry to the property and used a high pressure hose reel to extinguish a fire.

It is believed the fire started in the rear garden of the property.

Crews have ventilated two neighbouring properties which were lightly smoke logged.

There are no reports of any injuries.
