When crews arrived they found the ground floor kitchen to be heavily smoke logged and forced entry into the property.  2 firefighters in breathing apparatus entered the property with 1 hose reel, but fortunately the fire was out on arrival so crews then ventilated the property. The cause of the fire was a plastic dog bowl left on the hob and it is believed that the dog accidentally turned on the hob by jumping up to it.
