Smoke inside a home in Commonmoor led to a 999 call yesterday.

Firefighters from Liskeard and Bodmin reported a strong smell coming from a boiler on the first floor at the rear of the property.

The crews used two breathing apparatus, one hose reel and a thermal imaging camera to investigate.

After a thorough search the firefighters confirmed there had been a small fire in the immersion heater but it was out on arrival.

A new smoke detector was fitted.
