An electrical transformer fire has been tackled by firefighters on the Isle of Wight.

Freshwater and Newport fire crews attended an electrical transformer fire near Freshwater Bay yesterday (Thursday).

It's thought the fire was started by adverse weather.

Crews set up a fan spray to protect nearby domestic property and safety jets to protect land.

Firefighters worked in 'defensive mode' due to electrocution risk, until the power had been isolated.
