A COOKER fire saw firefighters called to a property in Lundwood on Monday night.
Two adults and five children were evacuated from the house on Harold Avenue by crews from Barnsley and Cudworth stations, who were called at 10.15pm to deal with the fire, which had started in the kitchen cooker.
A dog also had to be given oxygen therapy at the scene using a specialised mask.
The crew spent 35 minutes extinguishing the flames and making sure all residents were unharmed.
A spokesman confirmed the fire had been started accidentally, but the precise cause was not known.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
