Crews extinguished the fire, checked both loft spaces for fire spread and gave advice to residents.

Crews used two x 45mm main jets, four breathing apparatus, three hose reel jets, small tools, lighting and a thermal imaging camera to tackle the blaze.

The cause was accidental due to hot ashes from a brazier earlier in the evening.
