A firefighter has praised the work of a Nottinghamshire care home in evacuating its residents during a fire. Six fire engines were called to Hatzfeld House in Mansfield Road, Blidworth, at 4.14pm on Tuesday, February 21.
Around 20 residents were in the home at the time, however none were injured during the blaze. Speaking to Nottinghamshire Live at the scene, Group Manager Jonathan Holford, of Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “We had six appliances at one stage but we also additional resources to support the incident.
“I arrived around 4.15pm and crews arrived to a developing fire with lots of smoke. Nobody was injured and the care home has done a good job. Just over 20 people were taken to an adjacent property and given shelter there whilst we dealt with the incident, but they are all now being let back in."
