Firefighters from Douglas, Peel and Kirk Michael were called out to a blaze in Peel this morning (Wednesday).
Members of the public raised the alarm at 7.30am after seeing flames and smoke coming out of the roof area of a property in Douglas Street.
An external electrical box had caught fire causing smoke logging inside the property and slight damage to the building fascia.
The building was checked to ensure that no one was inside.
The fire was put out using a CO2 extinguisher and a hose reel. Supporting appliances were stood down but one crew remained in attendance until the electrics had been isolated and the building made safe.
A fire service spokesman said: ‘It is important to have electrical installations and appliances checked regularly for any damage, if you are not sure contact a local electrical engineer for advice.’
