Firefighters from Lostwithiel helped colleagues from Bodmin tackle a fire which is believed to have started in an extractor fan in an engineer’s workshop.

The crews used two breathing apparatus and one hosereel to put out the fire in the unit on the Cooksland Industrial Estate in Bodmin yesterday lunchtime (March 18).

They then used a thermal image camera to inspect for hotspots.

The extractor fan was in the toilet of the single-storey building.
