Reminder never to leave cookers unattended
Emergency services were called out to a property in Glen Maye last night after reports of a kitchen fire on the Glen Rushen road.
Two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the building, extinguished the fire and removed a chip pan to outside.
A thermal imaging camera was used to check for hot spots and a positive pressure fan was used to ventilate the property.
The occupant had been alerted to the fire by working smoke alarms and was treated by paramedics on scene for smoke inhalation.
It's prompted a reminder for people never to leave cookers and/or hobs of any description unattended.
