A house in Silverton was badly damaged by fire on Wednesday evening (2 March).
Firefighters were called to a blaze at a property in Poundsland shortly after 8pm.
Two appliances from Exeter were sent to the scene. Upon arrival crews requested further pumps which came from Topsham, Tiverton and Crediton, along with the command unit from Honiton.
The fire involved a two storey house, garage and a gymnasium.
The cause of the fire was believed to be accidental; crews had extinguished the fire by midnight.
