Fire control received a call from a Pub on Fore Street in Beer reporting a fire within the kitchen of the pub.
Control mobilised 3 fire appliances from Seaton, Sidmouth and Colyton, 1 Aerial Ladder Platform from Danes Castle and a supporting officer.
Once crews from Seaton arrived on scene, they confirmed no further appliances required due to small amounts of smoke issuing from a freezer and crews were making efforts to remove the freezer to open air.
Final update - crews confirmed the fire was only confined to a freezer situated in a pub freezer that was removed to open air and fire extinguised using 1 chimney bucket of water. Crews confirmed this fire was accidental.
