'Overheated bicycle torch batteries' cause farm fire

Crews called to building in Kirk Michael

Crews were called out to a farm fire in the north of the Island over the weekend.

It's believed 'overheated bicycle torch batteries' were the cause of the blaze, in a farm building in Kirk Michael.

They had been left on charge, in a bag.

Teams were able to put out what was described as a 'well established' fire early Sunday morning. 

And officers have reminded people to follow manufacturers' instructions when charging electrical equipment.
