Occupier was watching TV
A house in Brixham has been completely destroyed by fire.
The blaze broke out on Saturday evening as the occupier of the mid-terrace property was watching television.
Seven fire appliances including an aerial ladder platform were sent to Marina Drive in the town around half past nine.
Smoke and flames were coming from the house when crews arrived, according to Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service.
No one was injured and the cause of the blaze was being investigated.
Fire investigator Lee Blackburn said:"Fortunately the occupier did have smoke alarms fitted, she was inside watching TV when the smoke alarm alerted her.
"She went to investigate to find the fire and then she called 999."
