Firefighters put out a small oven fire in Exmouth on Tuesday (5 September).

Exmouth and Exeter crews were called out just after 10.45am to reports of smoke coming from a property in the St Andrews Road area.

The Exeter Middlemoor crew arrived first and stood down the Exmouth firefighters before dealing with the small fire involving cooking in the oven of a ground-floor flat.

The cause was accidental, the fire service said.

"Cause of fire was accidental."
