Firefighters from Ryde are responding to reports of a fire alarm at a house in Wroxall this afternoon (Friday).

A spokesperson from the Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service said crews were on the way to a property at Manor Road.

UPDATE: The fire service have left the scene as it turned out to be a false alarm.

The domestic alarm was triggered due to a fault with the system.

The crew from Ryde posted on Twitter: "We are now returning to the Sandown area where we are providing fire cover this afternoon."
