2 fire appliances from Frome were mobilised following a call from the occupant of a domestic property, reporting that their oven was on fire. Fire Control confirmed at the time of call that all occupants were able to evacuate safely.

Shortly after the first crew arrived on scene and after liaising with the occupiers, they confirmed that a fire extinguisher had been used into the oven prior to our arrival. Crews still investigated to ensure it was fully extinguished, using 2 breathing apparatus and 1 hose reel jet, but once satisfied that it was, made the area safe and cleared the smoke using a positive pressure ventilation fan. Fire damage was minimal, confined to the oven only, and all occupants were safely out the property and found to be in good health.  

This incident is now complete and was brought under control at 18:38hrs. These are the full and final details.
