Fire chiefs have told hungry householders in Doncaster to use an over or air fryer after a serious chip pan blaze in the city.

South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue has issued the alert after the incident earlier this week.

A SYFR spokesman said: “Our crews attended a fire caused by a chip pan earlier this week in Doncaster.

"We recommend cooking your chips in the oven or using an air fryer - these are much safer.

"And, when you're cooking anything, never leave it unattended.”
