FIREFIGHTERS were called to tackle a fire in a hair salon in South Gloucestershire yesterday afternoon.
Two crews from Kingswood Fire Station and one crew from Hicksgate Fire Station were dispatched to Regents Street in Kingswood at 5.24pm, arriving to discover a small fire caused by a light fitting in the salon.
Firefighters in breathing apparatus put out the fire using a high pressure hose reel and CO2 extinguisher, before using a positive pressure ventilation fan to clear the premises of smoke.
It is believed the fire was started accidentally.
