A TOASTER caused a kitchen fire at a house in Runcorn last night.
An occupant suffered from smoke inhalation after being alerted by a smoke alarm at Thorn Road shortly after 11.30pm.
Firefighters from Runcorn and Widnes dealt with the incident.
A spokesman for Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “The smoke alarm alerted the occupier to this fire who suffered from smoke inhalation.
“ A large fan was then used to remove the smoke from the property before crews left."
