Thatch fire in Ide

Building hit for second time in two years

Fire crews from Exeter, Exmouth, Topsham and Mortonhampsted have been called to a fire at Little Johns Cross in Ide, following reports of a thatched property on fire. 

It's a repeat of an incident in April 2012 when it took 15 appliances and 90 fire officers to get the blaze under control at the same building.

It's believed that the property was empty on Saturday evening when the fire broke out. The emergency services were called at about 6.45pm.
