CALL OUT: Firefighters were called out to Osborne Road in Bridgwater last night
THE ground floor of a home in Bridgwater was left severely damaged following a fire last night (Monday, June 1).
Firefighters from Bridgwater and Burnham-on-Sea were sent to the scene on Osborne Road at 9.30pm yesterday evening.
On arrival all occupants were already safely outside of the property, allowing the crews to get to work extinguishing the blaze which had broken out in the lounge.
The substantial fire required two hose reel jets and a main jet to be put out.
A spokesman for Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue said: "Once the fire was extinguished, crews confirmed the ground floor was severely damaged by the fire and smoke. The cause is still under investigation."
