FIREFIGHTERS were called out to a gas cylinder leaking at a property in Ellesmere Port.

On arrival shortly after 8.15pm last night (Sunday, May 16) the crew discovered that the occupiers of the property in Jacks Wood Avenue had taken the cylinder, which is used for camping cooking, to a safe place outside.

Firefighters used a gas monitor on the cylinder to record gas levels.

They also made sure that there were no gas leaks inside the property.

Firefighters left the address once they were satisfied that the property and the cylinder were safe.

They were in attendance for less than half an hour.
