Friday 3 September
13.14 Calton Road, Widcombe, Bath
A man in his 40s had a lucky escape after a fire in his
property.
When crews arrived on the scene they found the occupant already
out of the three-storey building and a fire in the first floor
kitchen.
Two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the
premises and tackled the fire using two high pressure hose
reels.
The fire started accidentally after the occupant left the hob on
unattended.
Avon Fire & Rescue Service would like to remind people never
to leave cooking unattended as it could lead to fire breaking
out.
If you discover a fire, get out, close the door on your way out
if it is safe to do so, and call 999.
