A DISCARDED cigarette has caused a fire in Highbridge. 

Crews were called to a property on Market Street around 1pm today (October 15). 

Two engines from Burnham-on-Sea and one from Bridgwater were called to attend after a fire broke out on a window sill. 

The fire was out on arrival but crews got to work to check the remaining window sill using a triple extension ladder. 

It was determined that the fire was started by the discarded cigarette.
