FIREFIGHTERS were called to reports of a kitchen fire last night, Friday, on Halebank Road.

One fire engine from Widness attended the scene at 7:41pm.

On arrival, they found the property had become smokelogged due to the iron being left on the hob.

A positive pressure ventilation fan was used to clear the smoke from the house.
