Fire crews battle Worksop house blaze

The crews received the call at 11.52am to attend the scene at Abingdon View.

It was thought a dryer in a utility room had overheated, sparking the fire.

They used four breathing apparatus, two hose-reel jets and a ventilation fan to bring the flames under control by 12.29pm.

A family of four were able to escape unhurt.

Firefighter Kevin Taylor said: “It was contained in a small utility room and there was smoke damage.

“Fortunately, the family were awake and it was fitted with working smoke alarms.”
