Fire crews called after Wind blows out Southsea house windows

Fire crews from Southsea and a specialist Aerial ladder platform was called into action early this morning after strong winds blew out a set of Window frames from a third floor property. The aerial ladder platform based at Southsea fire station was called in to make the area safe. A cordon was put in place whilst fire crews made the remains of the frames safe after wind had blown the window 1 and smashed the window onto the pavement below on Palmerston Road this morning. Lucky no one was hurt in the incident. A neighbour who did not wish to be named at first thought it sounded like a explosion “I was feeding a dog called Brogue, when I was startled by a loud bang and the sound of breaking glass the glass than started to 1 down on to the pavement below. It was by luck no one was walking past.” Structural engineers from Portsmouth 1 Council’s building control department have visited the house to begin surveying the drama.
