A WARNING has been issued to householders following a kitchen fire late this afternoon.
Firefighters were called out to tackle a chip pan blaze in Golden View Drive, Thwaites Brow, shortly after 5.15pm.
They wore breathing apparatus and used a hose reel jet to bring the fire under control.
The female occupant of the semi-detached property escaped unhurt.
Fire damage was restricted to the kitchen, but the rest of the ground floor was smoke damaged.
Watch commander Jon Macdonald, of Keighley Fire Station, said: "We recommend that people use deep fat fryers rather than chip pans.
"However, if you have to use a chip pan, please ensure you do not fill it more than one third full of oil and never leave it unattended."
