FIREFIGHTERS were in exactly the right place at the right time when a television caught fire in a Taunton man's home last week.
Green Watch's Sub Offr Dave Downs and FF Dan Bryants were carrying out a home fire safety visit and installing a smoke alarm upstairs when they heard a cry for help.
And they called their colleagues in to help out.
"We couldn't believe it when the occupier screamed up the stairs, 'Help come quick my TV has just caught fire!'," said Dave.
"Luckily the fire crews were able to act very quickly and removed the TV to the open air to smother it and extinguish the fire."
