A summer barbecue almost became too hot to handle after fire crews were called to deal with a burning gas regulator at a Chivenor home this afternoon (Sunday.)

Upon arrival at 2.30pm today the Barnstaple crew discovered the barbecue gas regulator had caught fire but was already out.

They inspected the equipment and used a thermal imaging camera to check for hotspots before leaving the incident at Hawkridge Road.
