Burnham-On-Sea fire crews tackle kitchen blaze in Highbridge

Three fire crews from Burnham-On-Sea and Bridgwater were sent to Highbridge on Saturday morning (May 26th) after a kitchen blaze broke out in a flat.

Neighbours called '999' at 11.20am after hearing smoke alarms ringing at the premises in Newtown Road and seeing smoke coming out of a kitchen.

Fire crews were quickly on the scene, as pictured right, and used breathing apparatus to access the flat.

A fire spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "Two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus gained entry to the property and searched it to confirm that no persons were inside."

"The crews confirmed that the smoke was caused by an unattended saucepan, which was removed, and the property was then ventilated."
