No one was injured in the fire; all occupants were out of the home when firefighters arrived.

A spokesperson for Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “The property had no working smoke alarms, but some of the doors downstairs had been closed which has reduced the amount of fire damaged to the property.

“Please make sure you have working smoke alarms and keep all doors shut when you leave your property or go to bed at night.”
