Firework causes garage fire in Ashington
Five people were taken to hospital after a fire broke out in a garage in Ashington last night.
Firefighters were called to Ariel Street in the town at 12.39am, following reports that a detached garage was alight.
Two crews from Ashington and Blyth fire stations attended the fire and extinguished the blaze using a hose reel.
It is believed the fire was started after a lit firework was pushed into the garage, igniting a large pile of rubbish that was being stored inside.
The five residents, who had been in the neighbouring property, were taken to hospital as a precaution and treated for smoke inhalation.
Apart from this incident, today emergency services have hailed Bonfire Night a success after no major incidents happened in the North East.
