FIREFIGHTERS discovered a “well developed” fire in a bungalow in Bournemouth. Crews from Redhill Park, Springbourne and Westbourne attended the blaze in Palfrey Road at around 9.45pm on Friday evening. On arrival firefighters found a well-developed fire in the kitchen. Crews used two sets of breathing apparatus, one hose reel and a ventilation fan to deal with the fire. Despite firefighters getting to scene within four and a half minutes of the call being received by fire control operators, the fire still caused severe damage to the property. Fortunately, a working smoke alarm activated in the property and alerted the occupiers to the fire and they were able to escape. The cause of the fire is believed to be a chip pan.
