Family evacuated after Newbury kitchen fire





According to the manager of Red Watch at Newbury fire station, one fire engine from Newbury and another from Hungerford, a total of ten fire fighters, were called at 1pm to a blaze in Russell Road.
The cause of the fire was an item placed on top of a hob, which had caught fire, and the family alerted by their smoke alarm.
“The incident was partially dealt with by a passer-by, who used a damp towel to put out the fire by placing it on the hob,” said Mr Knight.
No-one was hurt and the incident was closed half an hour later.
