The blaze caused thick smoke to pour from the property, drawing the attention of a passerby who bravely assisted a woman from the burning home before emergency services arrived. Firefighters from Taunton and Wellington quickly took control of the situation, employing breathing apparatus, hose reel jets, and thermal imaging cameras to extinguish the fire.
