A FIRE crew from Crediton was called to an address in Western Road, Crediton at 5.16am on Monday, November 28 following a telephone call to Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service from the occupant of the property advising that they had been woken by a power cut and on inspection had found there had been a fire within their garage.

The firefighters found there had been a fire in the tumble drier stored in the garage.

The fire had affected 10 per cent of the contents of the garage.

The crew used a thermal imaging camera to check for any hot spots and ensured the area was made safe.

One hose reel jet was used to damp down the area.
