Burning bacon brings out fire brigade

FIREFIGHTERS were called to Albany Road on Monday morning, after a tray of bacon burst into flames.

The female resident calmly closed the oven door, cutting off the air supply, before leaving the flat and dialing 999.

Watch Manager Andy Upton said: "She did the right thing, and by the time we'd got there it had burnt out."

Aside from minor damage to the cooker, nobody was hurt.
