Plymouth house badly damaged after fire in bedroom

A house in Plymouth has been left badly damaged following a bedroom fire.

Smoke was seen billowing from the property in Peverell after the fire broke out in a first-floor bedroom.

No one is reported to have been injured, though the property was badly damaged by smoke.

The spokesperson added: "The fire was extinguished by crews using two breathing apparatus, one hose reel jet, positive pressure ventilation, one thermal imaging camera, and small tools.

"The bedroom was 25 per cent damaged by the fire and the rest of the property was 75 per cent damaged by smoke. The fire cause is believed to be accidental."
