Firefighters from the Bath and Hicks Gate fire stations tackled a blaze at a property in Bath yesterday morning, believed to have been caused by dog treats being left on a hob.
Emergency services were called to the scene on New King Street in Bath at 8.24am yesterday morning, Thursday 2nd May.
On arrival, firefighters discovered a fire in a ground floor flat and forced entry.
Two firefighters in breathing apparatus used one high-pressure hose reel to extinguish the fire.
They also used a thermal imaging camera to check for hotspots, and a positive pressure ventilation fan to clear smoke from the property.
The cause is thought to be accidental, and crews remained on scene to deliver fire safety advice.
