A TEMPERAMENTAL toaster prompted a call-out from firefighters in Teignmouth last night.

Two crews from the resort were joined by the turntable ladder team from Torquay to deal with the small blaze at a property in Bitton Park Road.

They arrived to find the toaster had done its worst and there were no flames to snuff out.

A fire spokesman said the cause of the incident, just after 7pm, was accidental.
