Two fire crews were sent to tackle a small blaze at a seafront fish and chip shop in Burnham-On-Sea on Wednesday evening (July 1st).

Two engines from Burnham were sent to the Esplanade Fish Bar at 8.12pm.

“On arrival crews found that there was a fire withing the deep fat fryer,” explained a spokesman to Burnham-On-Sea.com.

“The cause was the oil overheating and most of it had burnt away. Crews extinguished the fire by closing the lid and letting it cool.”

“They also ventilated the property with a positive pressure fan. There was no damage to the property.”
