Firefighters rushed to tackle a small blaze which had broken out in the kitchen of a flat in a converted house.
Two appliances from Colchester went to the first-floor flat in Chapel Street North, off Southway, just after 9.30am Saturday.
Crews spent an hour at the property putting out the blaze before damping the area down and ventilating the room.
The occupant was unhurt.
