    Flats evacuated after plastic is left on cooker

    The residents of a block of flats in Douglas had to be evacuated early yesterday morning after toxic fumes filled the building. 

    Firefighters were called to a property on Rosemount at 1.30am after the occupant of one of the flats raised the alarm. 
     
    They'd woken to find their flat full of smoke after a plastic drawer was left on top of the electric hob.  
     
    The plastic had melted giving off the fumes and smoke but was caught before it developed into a fire.
