FIREFIGHTERS were called to a fire in Ellesmere Port that had been sparked by a tumble dryer.
When the crews from Ellesmere Port and Mollington arrived yesterday, the dryer was outside the house in Clydesdale, Whitby, and was producing a small amount of smoke.
The crews used a bucket of water to put out the fire. The incident was reported just after 4.30pm.
Earlier this month, firefighters tackled a similar fire in the town.
They were called to the fire in Bebington Road just after midnight on September 5 and used a hose reel and covering jets to tackle the blaze.
