Food left on the stove was blamed for a small kitchen fire that generated lots of smoke at a property in Cawston on Thursday.

Two appliances from Earlham and Aylsham attended the blaze in Fred Tuddenham Drive just after 11.15am. A Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: 'It was a small fire with lots of smoke. The crews wore breathing apparatus and extinguished using hose reel jets. It was caused by food being left on the stove.'

Nobody was injured in the blaze or needed treatment.
