AN electrical fire in the cellar of a Bradford house has left the property badly smoke-damaged.
Fire crews from Fairweather Green and Shipley were called to the incident at a house on Grange Terrace, Allerton, at around 8.30am today.
On arrival, they found a consumer box in the cellar of the property to be well-alight, with smoke spreading to the rest of the house.
The occupants of the end-terrace, two young women, were uninjured and safely outside by the time crews arrived at the scene.
After the blaze was extinguished, staff from Northern Powergrid attended to isolate the electrical supply and make the property safe.
A spokesman for the Fairweather Green crew said: "The house was full of smoke and has suffered damage. The occupants saw the fire but left all the doors of the property open. In that situation you should close the doors to try and limit smoke damage to the rest of the house."
