ONE casualty was assessed by paramedics following a kitchen fire at a property in Orford, Warrington, last night, Sunday.
At 22:53, fire engines from Warrington and Penketh attended reports of a fire at a property on North Avenue.
Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used a hose reel jet to extinguish a fire involving a cooker, believed to have been caused by an item left on or near the hob catching alight.
A high-pressure fan was used to clear smoke, and crews checked for any fire spread using a thermal imaging camera.
One person was assessed at the scene by paramedics as a precaution for smoke inhalation.
