Paramedics assessed a very young baby for minor smoke inhalation after an electrical fire at a Birchington home.

Crews were called to the property at Crossroads at 5.40pm yesterday, where they put out the small fire behind a cooker using a fire bucket.

It's believed it was caused by an electrical fault in the wiring.
