Two fire appliances from Taunton attended a property after the occupant reported the bedroom on fire. Everyone was able to get out of the property before fire service arrival. The fire was in the first floor bedroom of a 2 storey property. Both electric and gas were isolated and crews used 2 breathing apparatus sets, 1 hose reel jet, 1 safety jet and 1 thermal imaging camera.
An ambulance was requested for a female with smoke inhalation. The fire was confirmed out at 18:11 and a positive pressure ventilation fan was used to clear the smoke logging.
The bedroom was 5% damaged by fire, 20& damaged by smoke and the rest of the property was unaffected.
