Two crews of firefighters, one from Maiden Newton and the other from Dorchester, were called to the fire in Broadmayne at 7.48pm.
The blaze was in the kitchen of a home, contained to a pan on a cooker hob.
Paramedics from the South Western Ambulance Service treated one casualty for smoke inhalation and gave three more precautionary checks.
