Firefighters called to Somerset village after smoke seen billowing from home

SMOKE coming from a house in Charlton Musgrove prompted an emergency response from fire crews this morning.

Firefighters from Wincanton, Gillingham and Castle Cary were sent to the scene at just before 11.30am after reports of smoke coming from the property.

The Gillingham crew was stood down as it made its way to the scene, with the other two crews confirming there was a fire in the kitchen area of the property.

“The fire was extinguished using one hose reel jet, one positive pressure ventilation and one thermal imaging camera,” a Devon & Somerset Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said.

“All persons and all animals were also accounted for.”
