A woman needed medical attention after breathing in smoke when fire broke out in the kitchen of her home.
Electrical equipment is believed to have sparked the blaze in Millwood End, Long Hanborough, at 7.15am on Saturday.
The woman escaped after smoke detectors were set off. Firefighters gave her first aid until paramedics arrived. She did not require hospital treatment.
Firefighter Frank Patterson said: “The occupant was extremely lucky to escape without serious injury. This was due to early detection of the fire by working smoke alarms fitted in the property.”
