Fire control received a call to a external boiler attached to a property that was on fire.
Control mobilised 2 appliances, a supporting officer from Torquay and 1 fire appliance from Teignmouth.
Once the first appliance arrived on scene, crews confirmed that a fire involving a remote oil supply away from building and no further appliances were required. This allowed 2 appliances to become available.
Final update @ 09:44 - heating boiler external to property severely damaged by fire. Crews used 1 hose reel jet, 1 thermal imaging camera and 1 environmental protection pack. This was confirmed as accidental ignition.
