FIREFIGHTERS were called to a fire at a property in Barrow this weekend. 

Crews from Barrow and Walney fire stations were called at around 5.30pm on Sunday afternoon to extinguish a fire at a house in Florence Street in Barrow. 

The female occupier managed to extinguish the majority of the fire herself but firefighters arrived and finally put the fire out. 

Two occupiers were not harmed by the incident but the house sustained a degree of smoke damage.
