FIRE crews from Tavistock and Bere Alston were called to reports of a fire at Orchard Court in Lamerton on Friday, May 4 just before 5pm.

On arrival crews found a fire in a fitted dishwasher, which was severely damaged by fire. The crews cut away kitchen units to make the area safe and moved the dishwasher outside. A thermal image camera was also used to check for hotspots and a positive pressure ventilation fan, to ventilate the property.
