A WOMAN was taken to hospital following a fire alert at her home last night.
Plastic placed in a microwave oven overheated and filled her bungalow with smoke.
The 77-year-old woman was given oxygen by firefighters and taken to hospital as a precautionary measure.
Fire crews from Bingley and Shipley were called out to the incident, in Farndale Road, Wilsden, at 10.30pm.
They used a special high-pressure fan to help clear smoke from the property.
