Firefighters have been called out to a home in Perham Down this lunchtime (Tuesday 12th July), after a toy melted in an oven.

The kitchen fire was luckily already out when crews from Pewsey and Andover arrived in Fremantle Road just before midday.

An inspection was carried out by firefighters to make sure there was no further danger.

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue tell us they also gave the family involved some 'safe and well advice'.

Ahead of the school summer holidays, DWFRS have put some tips on their website to help keep children safe from fires at home.
