Motorists are being urged to be more considerate when parking to allow emergency vehicles enough room to pass.

The Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service has made the plea - saying it will prevent lives from being put at risk' after attending a fire in the early hours of this morning.

Three fire appliances attended the blaze on Stanley Place in Douglas – there were no occupants at the property.

Police have confirmed the driver of a Nissan Navara – which was parked in the way of the fire engine – has been issued with a £60 fixed penalty notice.
