A COOKER caught fire  in a Runcorn kitchen.

The blaze broke out in an oven at a house in Kingsley Crescent at 4.45pm on Sunday, September 28.

Two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus extinguished the fire.

A spokesman for Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “They then ventilated the property using a high pressure fan and damped down the affected area.

“ The occupier was unable to stay in the house because the fire had caused water pipes to burst. “
