A young couple's row became so steamy the fire brigade had to be called.
Crews from Southend fire station went to Fairburn Close, off Windermere Road, Southend, after residents smelled smoke and thought there was a fire in the building.
However, when firefighters arrived at the scene they found a young woman had taken her man's trousers outside and set fire to them in the street.
