A fire service is warning people not to turn appliances on while they are unattended after it was called to a blaze in Swansea.

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service attended the incident at a house in Gorseinon at 12:26 GMT on Thursday.

The fire, believed to have started accidentally, started in the property’s utility room on the ground floor, causing “significant fire and smoke damage”.

The service issued a reminder on white goods safety, urging people to “never leave appliances unattended”.

“Don’t turn your washing machine or tumble dryer on before you leave the house or go to bed. These appliances contain powerful motors with fast-moving parts that get very hot,” it said.

It also urged people not to overload tumble dryers, or put in items that have been used to soak up flammable liquids such as cooking oil.
