The fire was focused in the kitchen and “quickly extinguished” by two firefighters wearing breathing equipment before it was able to spread further.
Station Commander Ryan Hall has since warned: “Even only for those brief moments, when using hot oils for cooking it is those short moments that the situations change.
“This incident highlights that when using hot oils or chip pans that if you need to leave the room, even for short periods that you remove the source of heat to avoid over heating.”
