A COLWALL woman was given first aid following a dishwasher fire at her home on Monday morning (September 6).
Firefighters were called to the woman's bungalow in Walwyn Road shortly before 8am.
Two crews from Malvern attended and firefighters in breathing apparatus entered the kitchen and extinguished the fire. Ventilation fans were also used to help clear the smoke from the building.
The elderly female occupant was given treatment at the scene for the effects of smoke inhalation and burns to her hands.
