FIRE crews from Wiveliscombe, Wellington and Taunton were called to a property on fire in Church Street, Wiveliscombe at 1.59pm.

The property was terraced and it was unknown if there were people inside the building at the time of the call.

The fire had spread widely through the property when the fire crews had arrived and they began to tackle the blaze. 

At 2.52pm crews confirmed all persons were accounted for and at 3.18pm crews got to work clearing the adjoining properties that were heavily smoke logged. 

The property has suffered a lot of smoke damage.

Fire crews believe the cause was accidental, however officers on the scene are still investigating.
