A TERRACED property in Mary Street, Nether Stowey, was damaged by a fire that started in a chip pan last night.

Three fire appliances from Bridgwater and Williton went to the scene at 8.54pm after the occupant called saying he had a fire in his kitchen.

On arrival, crews found a chip pan on fire on the electric stove. The property was 30 per cent damaged by heat and fire in the kitchen and the rest of the property suffered 20 per cent smoke damage.
