Dryer fire spread to outbuildings

By Nub News Reporter 1st Oct 2024

FIREFIGHTERS were called to Gainsborough Avenue, Tilbury this morning (Tuesday, 1 October) after a tumble dryer set alight and spread to five outbuildings. 

Station Manager Jason Gould said: "When crews arrived they found a well developed fire which had spread to five outbuildings. This was also starting to spread to a nearby house but the quick actions of crews stopped it from spreading further. 

"Unfortunately the outbuildings have been severely fire damaged." 

A fire investigation has found that the cause was an electrical fault in the tumble dyer.
