Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus and using a thermal image camera entered the garage and used a hose reel to extinguish the fire.
Crews then isolated oil and electric services to the garage, and checked the surrounding area for any fire damage.
Mr McEvoy said: ’In this instance the boiler was in the garage separate from the house, so the there was no damage to the home.’
