Drama as fire breaks out in student halls in Sheffield and six fire engines race to the scene

A student putting some overcooked food in a kitchen bin led to six fire crews rushing to an accommodation block in Sheffield.

The huge – if precautionary – response saw half a dozen fire engines arrive at the Aspect 3 student halls building on Edward Street at 1.10pm on Tuesday, October 4.

A fire broke out in one of the kitchens when a resident reportedly put something which was too hot in a bin.

The accidental blaze was extinguished and crews left the scene by 2.15pm.
