An electricity pylon had become involved in the fire and was arcing out near to the building, which was isolated by colleagues from the electricity board.
Fire crews wearing breathing apparatus soon got the fire under control utilising water from a nearby swimming pool using a portable pump.
One female resident was taken to hospital by ambulance due to smoke inhalation.

The crews were able to use a nearby swimming pool which provided us with a large volume of water to extinguish the fire with. The cause of the fire is still being investigated.”
