THE fire service was called to a Clyst St Mary home on Saturday evening after torrential rain caused the garden to flood, which was threatening to enter the property.

A fire officer called at the property to see if the fire service could assist.

While he was there he lifted the storm drain cover and the flood water receded so no further fire service action was needed.
