A gas cooker fire at a thatched cottage in East Budleigh, Devon, prompted a 999 call to firefighters. Two fire engines from Budleigh Salterton and Exmouth were sent to the house at 8.45pm on Sunday after the owner had reported their oven was on fire. Officers wearing breathing sets used a jet to extinguish the blaze before checking the building with a thermal imaging camera. No-one was injured. Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said the fire had been an accident.
