Waterlooville kitchen goes up in smoke - but nobody seriously injured

At around 10pm on Friday, November 20, crews were called to Buckland Close in Waterlooville after a fire broke out in a home.

Fortunately, nobody was seriously injured.

A spokesman for Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service said: ‘Crews from Cosham, Waterlooville and Portchester were called at 9.57pm.

‘The small kitchen fire was extinguished using two sets of breathing apparatus, one hose reel before ventilation fans were used to clear smoke from the property.

‘One male casualty was treated by crews and SCAS paramedics but wasn’t required to go to hospital. Firefighters remained on the scene to provide community safety advice to neighbouring properties.’
