FIREFIGHTERS were called to a blaze at an Ardrossan flat this week.

No one was injured in the fire, which took place near the roundabout on Montgomerie Street and is thought to have been caused by a gas cooker being left on.

A spokesman for the fire service said: “The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service was alerted at 1.39pm on Monday, December 11 to reports of a fire within a ground floor flat on Montgomerie Street, Ardrossan.

“Operations Control immediately mobilised two appliances and a height appliance to the scene and firefighters wearing breathing apparatus extinguished the flames using high powered hoses.

“There were no casualties.

“Crews left the scene after ensuring the area was made safe.”
