FIREFIGHTERS were called to a house fire in Yate yesterday afternoon, after a TV caught alight.

Crews from Yate responded to a report of a house fire at Parnell Crescent at 4.48pm on Sunday.

There had been a small fire in the living room, which was already out when the crew arrived.

The team removed the TV and then used a positive pressure ventilation fan to clear the smoke.

They also used a thermal imaging camera to check for any remaining hotspots.
