FIRE crews from Weston and Temple have rescued a dog from an "accidental" house fire over the weekend.
Crew members were called to the scene on Colombo Crescent at 8.13am on Saturday, September 2.
On arrival, crews found a fire in a first-floor bedroom of a two-storey semi-detached property.
Two firefighters managed to extinguish the blaze using one high reel pressure hose.
They both wore breathing apparatus.
Crews also used breaking-in tools, a thermal imaging camera and positive pressure ventilation fan for smoke clearance.
Whilst there, crews rescued one dog. There were no reports of anyone else being trapped inside the building.
A spokesperson from the Avon Fire and Rescue Service said: "The cause of the incident was thought to have been accidental ignition."
