FIREFIGHTERS had to force their way into an Evesham property after a pan of meatballs was left unattended on a stove.

The occupant had gone out and left the pan on at his home in Fairwater Gardens, Coopers Lane when a smoke alarm alerted crews to a possible fire at the property.

They forced their way in in time to find the flat only slightly smoke-logged.

Watch manager, Julian Jenkins, said: “It could have been a lot worse but the smoke detectors did their job.”
