THREE fire engines were dispatched to tackle a kitchen fire in Langford Budville.

Two fire engines from Wellington and one from Taunton were called to a domestic property fire in Butts Lane, Wellington, on Saturday (March 15) at 11.40am.

Upon arrival, crews confirmed there was a fire within the kitchen of the property originating from a dishwasher.
