A family were forced to flee their home when a toaster on top of an electric hob set alight last night.
Firefighters were called to Willow Tree Close, Long Lee, Keighley, at about 11.30pm.
They arrived to find a mum and her two teenage children had managed to get out of the house. The family had been alerted to the fire by the smoke alarms sounding.
Keighley crew commander Darren Creighton said firefighters spent about half an hour tackling the fire.
He said: “The electric hob had been turned on with the toaster sat on top of it. There was a small amount of fire damage to the wall units and smoke damage to the kitchen.”
