FIRE fighters were called to a house fire after power surge in a Notts village's electrical grid early on Saturday morning.
Crews from Newark and Beeston fire stations attended the incident at around 4am on Saturday July 20 in Chapel Garth, Orston.
An electrical surge caused a tumble dryer in a ground floor utility room to set on fire.
Newark fire station confirmed that the fire's intensity grew gradually, and residents in the two-storey house evacuated before any damage was done.
The blaze followed an alarm earlier in the morning, at around 1.30am, set off by an appliance at a house on the same grid - just 50 metres away.
