17.56 Locking Road, Milton, Weston-super-Mare
Firefighters have been called to tackled a blaze after cooking
was left unattended on a hob.
When crews arrived at the flat they found a neighbour who had
heard the smoke alarm in the property activating and dialled
999.
As firefighters could see smoke coming from the property, but
were unable to raise the occupant, they forced entry into the flat
and found a fire in the kitchen.
A short time later the occupant, a woman in her 20s, returned.
It’s thought she had gone out and left something cooking on the
hob.
The flat suffered smoke damage.
Avon Fire & Rescue Service would like to remind people never
to leave cooking unattended as it can lead to fire breaking
out.
