Firefighters had to deal with a flood which endangered a number of homes last night.
The Havant branch of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Services rushed out last night to deal with a flood where hundreds of litres had to be pumped from a natural spring into a drain.
The incident was a concern for those living in the Springwell area of Havant due to the rising water levels and crew members stayed on the scene for approximately an hour.
A spokesperson for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Services said: ‘Havant firefighters were called shortly before 10pm last night to pump water from a natural spring into a drain after the water had begun to rise, endangering a number of properties.
‘The crew left the scene on Springwell shortly after 11pm when the incident was left with Environment Agency and Southern Water teams.’
