Whitmore Avenue, Broomhill
Two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used a hose reel to
extinguish a fire that started in the kitchen of a ground floor
private flat as the occupant walked their pet dog.
The fire caused damage to the kitchen and heavy smoke logging to
the rest of the property. Crews fitted smoke alarms in the property
and later returned with a thermostatically controlled chip pan to
ensure safer cooking in future.
