A fire crew from West Ashland was called to a kitchen fire in Emerson Valley last night.
The fire was out on arrival of the fire service – the home owner had used a dry powder extinguisher to extinguish the blaze.
Firefighters used natural ventilation to clear the property of smoke and provided home fire safety advice, at the property on Elmridge Court.
> Earlier in the day, the same station had been called to deal with heathland that was smouldering in Little Brickhill.
