“The kitchen suffered smoke and fire damage but firefighters managed to stop it spreading to other parts of the bungalow.”
And firefighters had to act quickly to prevent a wheelie bin fire spreading to a house on Fern Avenue, Staveley, Chesterfield, at 4.14am yesterday.
Firefighters from Chesterfield were also called out to a field fire behind New Hall Road.
