The fire started accidentally in ducting, West Midlands Fire Service said.

Two fire engines and a 4x4 brigade response vehicle were mobilised, the first of which arrived within three minutes.

A spokesman for West Midlands Fire Service said: "The fire was tackled at the single-storey property by crews using a hose reel, a dry powder extinguisher and a C02 extinguisher.

"Gas and electric to the property were isolated and a neighbouring property was also checked with no issues reported.

"Crews left the scene at around 9pm and returned at 11pm to ensure there were no remaining hot spots."
