Loud bang after fire in shedA St Saviour resident was left shocked on Sunday evening after a loud bang alerted him to a fire in his shed.
The entire roof of the homeowner's granite outbuilding, around 10 metres by 15 metres in size, was alight.
Jersey Fire and Rescue Service say a large column of smoke was visible rising into the sky as two fire crews arrived at the scene just before 8pm.
Three water jets were used to fight the blaze - which was brought under control in 15 minutes. Jersey Fire Service say the quick action prevented the fire from spreading to the main house and oil storage tank.
Crews remained at the scene for a further two hours to damp down the affected areas. Islanders are being advised to ensure they have smoke detectors in sheds, outbuildings, lofts and other storage areas, as well as homes.
