Fat fryer catches fire at West Bay kiosk

A fire at a food kiosk in west Dorset has left the building severely smoke damaged.

Two part-time retained fire crews were called to the single-storey building in West Bay, near Bridport, at about 0930 GMT.

Firefighters extinguished the fire and no-one was hurt.

A Dorset Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said the cause was a defective thermostat on a commercial deep fat fryer.
