EYE witnesses described seeing blue lights just after midnight as firefighters worked to rescue a property from flooding. Carlisle West Fire Station received the call at 10.45pm on Tuesday after rising water levels threatened the electrics at a home in the Court Yard in Moorhouse, a village to the west of the city. A spokesman for the Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service said the water, which was a number of inches deep, was pumped into a nearby field. "We saw the blue lights and we assumed that it was someone who was not well so I cam down and saw the fire engine and firemen running around," described one of the neighbours of the affected property.
