The occupier had been woken by their smoke alarms and closed the door to the kitchen on their way out of the building whilst calling the fire service.

Four Firefighters in breathing apparatus were sent in to tackle the fire.

It is believed that the fire was caused by an electrical fault in the dishwasher.
