Carol Todd, who lives in Bells Road, said: "The neighbour rang emergency services after smelling smoke.
"I spoke to some of the crew and they said they caught it just in time and that it could have been much worse.
"Afterwards they spoke to residents nearby and handed out leaflets about the importance of fire safety smoke alarms."
