Building fire in Exmouth caused by de-humidifier
TWO people had to receive 'oxygen therapy' after their de-humidifier caused a fire at a property in Exmouth last night (August 3).
Two fire crews from Exmouth were sent to reports of a building fire at Rolle Villas at around 8.30pm.
A fire service spokesman said: "On arrival crews discovered there had been a fire involving a de-humidifier in the ground floor dining room. This was now out.
"One male and one female received oxygen therapy from Fire Service Personnel for smoke inhalation.
"Crews used positive pressure ventilation to clear the smoke."
