FIREFIGHTERS from Barrow were called to a house on Walney after a jacket potato is understood to have sparked a microwave blaze.
The crew was tasked to Delhi Street at around 8pm last night after a microwave set on fire. Firefighters believe the fire was started by a potato which was being cooked inside the microwave.
The fire was put out and firefighters returned to the station after around 45 minutes.
