Domestic building fire

At 12.58pm on Wednesday (19) crews from Stopsley and Luton were called to a dishwasher on fire in the kitchen of a property in Hitchin Road, Luton.        

Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used a hose reel and jet to extinguish the fire and high-pressure fans to clear the smoke. A thermal imaging camera was used to check for hotspots.

The cause of the fire was accidental.
