A fuse box is thought to have been the cause of a fire which broke out at a house in Taunton.

Devon and Somerset firefighters were called to Langham Gardens at about 6am yesterday morning.

Two fire engines from Taunton attended the incident alongside an officer. On arrival, crews requested another fire engine for further personnel. 

A spokesman said: "We received a call from a resident who told us they had a fire at their property.

"It had broken out on the ground floor on the porch.

"The fire is believed to have started in the fuse box, Western Power attended to isolate the electrics to the property."
