Firefighters were called into action yesterday after one homeowner's attempt at making bacon sandwiches.
Two appliances from Douglas attended a house on Upper Dukes Road at 1.45pm where they dealt with a small kitchen blaze.
A grill pan had been accidentally left on after use and the excess fat had ignited - the resident had begun tackling the fire themselves by throwing the pan into the garden.
However it proceeded to set fire to a small outside table which firefighters extinguished - they also isolated the power and ventilated the house.
No-one was injured.
