Crews wearing Breathing Apparatus then entered the building to extinguish the fire using a high pressure hose reel.
Four fire appliances, Aerial Ladder, Duty Officer, Brigade Officer and decontamination support team from Castletown, Rushen and Douglas stations attended the scene and remained for around 2 hours to bring the incident to a close.
