A small cooking fire broke out in a flat in Abbey Street, St James, at around 1.30pm today (November 29).

But fearing the fire could have spread and severely damaged surrounding flats in the block, Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue scrambled at least five fire engines to attend the incident.

The fire was out on arrival and a single appliance stayed behind to assess the damage.
