Crews from Douglas were dispatched this morning to a fire at the Animal Waste Plant.
Upon arrival, crews identified that one of the drying vessels was alight within the building.
Working closely with staff on scene a plan was formulated to extinguish the fire in a way that limited the likelihood of the machine being damaged further.
Crews were in attendance for approximately two hours and are continuing now with their decontamination process.
Additionally, crews from Castletown and Port Erin were called out yesterday morning to a confirmed fire within a domestic property in Colby.
The occupant was alerted to the fire by their smoke alarm and managed to safely evacuate in the nick of time. One room was totally destroyed by fire and the remainder of the property suffered heavy smoke damage.
