Images have been shared by Avon Fire and Rescue Service of the aftermath of a washing machine blaze at a home in Clevedon. Just after midday on Monday (February 28), the service was called to the fire at a domestic property on Old Church Road.
Photos show the property's utility room badly damaged by the fire, as well as the washing machine from which the fire originated that had been badly burnt. The walls of the room were blackened by smoke and charred, and the doorways were also badly damaged.
A short statement was released on social media by the Clevedon crew of Avon Fire and Rescue Service, confirming that the fire started in the washing machine. The service praised the occupants of the property for their "quick-thinking" in preventing it from spreading.
