Electronic cigarette
THREE fire crews were called to a house in Barrow after an electronic cigarette charger set on fire.
Firefighters from Barrow, Ulverston and Walney were sent to a home in Redoak Avenue in Barrow at 9.30pm last night.
Two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used a thermal imaging camera and hose reel jet to put out the fire, which is believed to have been started by an electronic cigarette charger in the kitchen.
The crews returned to the station after around an hour.
