FIREFIGHERS were called to a kitchen fire in Neston that has been started by a grill pan.

Crews from Mollington, Ellesmere Port and a third fire engine from Merseyside Fire and Rescue attended the house in Dawn Close, Ness, just before 12.20pm today.

They found smoke coming from the grill pan and used a large fan to clear the smoke from the property.
