At 11:15am this morning, firefighters from Green Watch were called to a vehicle on fire at the bottom of Mont Cochon in St Lawrence.
While it was an EV, there is no evidence that the high-voltage electric battery, which replaces a fuel-powered car’s engine, was involved.
Electrical safety tip: don’t leave appliances running unattended.
This Electrical Fire Safety Week, we are reminding everyone of the importance of never leaving appliances like tumble dryers running when you're out or overnight.
We are saddened to share that the man who was rescued from a fire in Grouville on Sunday 19 January 2025 has died.

Last night, we joined @GovJsyIE in the Tunnel, to carry out a smoke test.
This test allowed us to see, in person, what a fire in the tunnel would look like. The exercise reinforced our risk information and helps ensure that we are well prepared, should an incident occur.
We are delighted to announce that @JsyFire has developed and launched our own, bespoke, website.
Coinciding with our 75th anniversary year, jerseyfire.je is a symbol of how we integrate with modern Island life.
2025 marks the 75th anniversary of the Island's fire and rescue service, as we know it today.
It was in 1950 that the States took over responsibility from the Parish of St Helier.

Le Geyt gas leak update:
@Islandenergy_ has confirmed that the mains gas leak, in the road close to the Le Geyt flats, has been located and repaired.
There are zero gas readings in any of the properties and the emergency services have been stood down.
@Islandenergy_'s Network Manager has confirmed with emergency services that it is safe to reoccupy and @Andiumhomes has informed residents that they are now able to go home.
Due to the excavations by gas engineers, Le Geyt road is currently blocked to through traffic.
@Islandenergy_ engineers continue their investigations to locate the leak in the mains pipework in the road, in the Le Geyt area of St Saviour.
Once fixed, the gas levels will be regularly monitored to ensure ongoing safety.
