THREE fire engines have been sent to a home after oil inside an AGA oven went up in flames.

Firefighters were called out to a fire in a residential property on West Street in Shapwick, Blandford Form, at 1.44pm this afternoon.

The blaze was inside an AGA oven and was caused by oil catching fire.

Two crews from Blandford Fire Station and one crew from Wimborne Fire Station went to the scene.

The occupants of the house had extinguished the fire by the time firefighters had arrived, but crews still used a dry powder extinguisher and a thermal imaging camera to ensure the flames had been put out.

Crews were stood down at 2.20pm.
