A fire in a kitchen in Bath this week was started accidentally, says Avon Fire & Rescue Service.

Fire crews during the incident

Firefighters from Kingswood and Temple fire stations were called on Monday, 22nd September at 3pm to reports of the fire on Weston Park in Upper Weston.

A spokesperson for the service said: “Upon arrival, crews found a small fire in the kitchen.

“They used fire extinguishers and water jets to put out the fire. They then used a ventilation fan in the property and those adjoining to remove light smoke.

Crews from two fire stations attended the property

“Crews remained on the scene and used gas monitors and thermal imaging cameras to check for any additional hazards and to make the scene safe.

“Fortunately, there were no casualties. The cause of the fire was accidental.”
