Firefighters tackle fire in house on busy road

Firefighters tackled a fire that broke out in a house on a busy Liverpool road.

Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS) were called at 4.17pm on Thursday, July 7, following reports of a fire at a house on Aigburth Road. Three fire engines arrived at the scene just three minutes later and found a blaze on first floor of a semi-detached home.

Merseyside Police and the North West Ambulance Service were also in attendance at the scene of the blaze. It's unclear if anybody was injured or were treated at the scene.

A video sent to The ECHO showed a number of emergency service vehicles lined up along Aigburth Road and people standing on the pavement outside the building. Four firefighters wearing breathing apparatus went into the property and extinguished the fire.

Crews remain at the scene to ventilate the home. Despite one lane of traffic being filled with emergency service vehicles, traffic is coping well.
