A residential area of CBS was closed to traffic for some time this afternoon, after a fire broke out at a home on Fowler’s Road.
Emergency crews were greeted by thick smoke billowing from a house at the top of the street, and quickly set to work tempering the flames.
Traffic was temporarily diverted through the Manuels Access Road.
The fire was brought under control, but the extent of the damage is currently not known.
Reports from the scene indicate no one was home when the fire broke out.
