A washing machine caught fire in the conservatory of a house in Saltash early on Tuesday morning.
Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service (CFRS) initially sent fire crews from Saltash and Camels Head to the house at 04:22 GMT.
On arrival firefighters assessed the scale of the incident and asked a crew from Liskeard to attend.
Wearing breathing apparatus, the crews extinguished the fire using hose reel jets.
