THREE fire crews tackled a fire in a fuse box in a home in Chetnole in the early hours.

Smoke began coming out of a fuse box at a house on Back Lane at around 1am this morning.

Two crews from Sherborne and a crew from Yeovil were called and confirmed that there was a fire involving the fuse box.

The fire was extinguished using 4 breathing apparatus wearers and 3 carbon dioxide extinguishers.

The property was also ventilated to clear the smoke.

The electricity board were called to the home to isolate the electricity supply externally.
