A fire in Newport has sparked an emergency service call-out this morning (Thursday).

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service received reports of a fire in an outbuilding at the back of Stotesbury's Fish and Chip Shop on St James Street at shortly before 7am.

Crews from Newport, Ryde and Cowes were on the scene a short time later.

When firefighters arrived, smoke was issuing from the ground-floor of the building. 

Wearing breathing apparatus firefighters extinguished the blaze at the rear of the property using hose reel jets before clearing the smoke with ventilation fans. 

Crews remained on the scene to dampen down and deliver community safety materials to neighbouring addresses. 

The stop message came in at 7:38am.
