But after gaining access to the flat, the incident turned out to be a small toaster fire which had already been extinguished by residents.
Described as “nothing much” by Beds Fire and Rescue, a Beds Police spokesman added: “Officers attended to support emergency service partners. The fire is not being treated as suspicious.”
