Firefighters have issued a warning to those using candles after a fire broke out in a flat.

The fire crews from Swindon were called to tackle a fire in a first floor flat on Sunday afternoon.

After arriving at the scene on Thursday Street at 12.53pm they used two sets of breathing apparatus and a hose reel as they battled the fire.

A spokesman for Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "The fire had been caused by a candle being left alight in a glass container which heated up and set ornaments alight.

"Crews carried out a home safety check in the neighbouring area before leaving the incident. No one was injured."
