The first fire happened in North Ninth Street, Central Milton Keynes just after 10pm on New Year's Day.

One appliance and crew from Great Holm and one from Broughton attended. Firefighters used one hose reel, four sets of breathing apparatus and a fan to disperse the smoke.

Then at 7.30am this morning (Thursday), crews were called to a kitchen fire in a ground-floor flat in Turing Gate, Bletchley.
