But fortunately the fire didn't take hold and nobody was injured.

The incident has sparked a fresh safety warning from police.

A spokesman said: "We were diverted from clubland to a report of a male in a flat having caught the grill on fire.

"He was drunk trying to cook a burger. No one was hurt.

"Thankfully the male wasn't injured and was checked by paramedics.

"It could've been fatal. Don't cook if you're drunk."
