MORE than a dozen firefighters battled an early-hours blaze that broke out in a moorland village.

Emergency services were called to Wotter at around 5am yesterday, as flames took hold in the living room of a terraced house.

Crews also used a hose reel jet to extinguish the flames, which they said damaged about a third of the room.

The property was completely smoke-logged, a Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said, causing significant damage throughout the two-storey house.

Firemen used a positive pressure ventilation fan in an attempt to clear the bulk of the smoke.

Crews said nobody was injured in the fire, whose cause is yet to be established.
