Firefighters from Yeovil Fire Station were recently mobilised following a call to fire control from a Careline alarm sounding at a property in Yeovil. A smoke detector had been activated and the occupier, Mr Green, had initially answered the call when the Careline operator rang but they soon lost communication with him.

Within six minutes, the crew Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service were on scene and investigating. They could hear the alarm but were unable to establish contact with the occupant inside. With curtains drawn the crew could not see inside but could hear a dog barking. They tried the front door, but it wouldn’t open. As the crew looked for another entrance, they heard a “click” and the front door opened.
