Firefighters were called to an address off Spring Street in Cannock just after 6:35am on Thursday. Crews from Cannock and Rugeley attended to the scene. Firefighters used two breathing apparatus and one hose reel jet to extinguish the fire.
No one was injured in the fire. The cause of the fire was deemed to be accidental and crews left the scene at 8:50am.
Leigh Richards, station manager at Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: “Faulty electrics, such as overloaded sockets and faulty electrical appliances, cause around 7,000 house fires across the country every year.”
“In order to protect yourself and prevent a fire in your home, you should use official chargers and don’t be tempted to use cheap counterfeit replicas instead.”
“Make sure you replace all damaged cables and chargers.”
