Fire services called to KFC in Douglas

A fire has been put out by firefighters at KFC in Douglas.

At 8am this morning, the owner entered the building and turned the power on and the building became heavily smoke logged. 

Officer on scene and leading firefighter Gary Kirby said the fire began in the exterior KFC sign - which was possibly due to an electrical fault. 

Crews observed a smouldering fire in the neon sign above the shop and proceeded to extinguish the fire using a high-pressure hosereel.

No damage was done to the interior of the building and the fast-food restaurant will reopen at 1pm today - having been given the all clear from fire services.
