FIREFIGHTERS were called to a property in Highbridge after reports of a cooker fire. 

Two fire engines from Burnham mobilised at just before 6pm today (July 23) to Foster Close in Highbridge to battle the fire. 

On arrival the crews confirmed that the fire had been extinguished by a member of public using a dry powder extinguisher prior to their arrival. It was confined to the oven within the kitchen.

Crews removed the oven to outside and ventilated the property.
