DORSET Fire and Rescue Service is warning residents not to leave cooking unattended after a fire at a Weymouth flat this morning.

An oven was damaged by smoke and heat.
A Dorset Fire and Rescue spokesman said: "Unattended cooking is an all too frequent occurrence of accidental dwelling fires.
"You should never leave any cooking unattended as the consequences can be serious."
The service will be offering free home checks and safety advice to residents in the area at a later date.
