Firefighters called to tackle conservatory fire
FIREFIGHTERS were called to tackle a conservatory fire in Wivenhoe.
Two crews from Colchester were called shortly after 9.38pm last night to a home in Vanessa Drive.
An Essex Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "On arrival, crews reported that a brick-based conservatory situated at the rear of a semi-detached property was alight.
"Firefighters extinguished the fire by 10.07pm after successfully containing it to the conservatory, which has suffered fire damage to its roof and structure along with complete smoke damage"
The fire is believed to have been caused by faulty lights, which were fitted on the walls of the conservatory.
