AN electrical fault caused a fire at a house in Wilmslow.
Firefighters were called to Morley Green Road shortly after 4pm yesterday.
Crews discovered smoke coming from a light in the pantry area and that there was a small amount of charring on a wooden facia near to the light.
Firefighters isolated the electricity supply to the property and then used a thermal imaging camera to check for any hotspots.
The crew removed the charred facia and damped down the affected area.
Firefighters were at the scene for around 45 minutes.
