A KITCHEN fire at a property in Taunton was started deliberately.
Two fire engines from Taunton and police were sent to a property in Leycroft Grove shortly before 7.30pm last night.
On arrival, crews confirmed there was smoke coming from the ground floor, and found there was a small fire in the kitchen area.
The fire was extinguished using two breathing apparatus wearers, one hose reel jet and one thermal imaging camera.
A spokesperson for Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue said: "The cause of the fire was deliberate.
"Duty of care was left with the police and the occupier."
