Sandbach: Firefighters tackle blaze on the Trent and Mersey canal as boat goes up in flames

By Deborah Bowyer 11th Oct 2021

Firefighters from Alsager and Sandbach spent more than an hour fighting a blaze on a boat on the canal at Rode Heath at the weekend.

They were called to the fire just after 4 am on Saturday morning and used one hose reel and breathing apparatus.

A spokesman said: "Once the fire was extinguished the crew removed a gas cylinder on board. No people were on board."

Firefighters spent around 80 minutes tackling the blaze on the Trent and Mersey Canal
