Watch Manager Kevin Warwick said: "We arrived to find two adults and two children outside the property. The adults were treated for smoke inhalation.

"The ground floor of the property was heavily smoke logged.

"We committed two firefighters in breathing apparatus two isolate the cooker and to extinguish the fire that had started on top of the cooker.

"It seems that some clothes had been left on top and these ignited.

"The occupants of this property were very lucky that they had a working smoke alarm.

"We cannot stress enough the importance of having a working smoke alarm in your home."

Nobody was seriously injured during the incident.
