FIREFIGHTERS were called to a block of flats in Kinson on Saturday morning after fire broke out.
Crews from Springbourne and Redhill attended the building in Wimborne Road at around 10.30am.
Nobody was injured but the flat was severely damaged.
A Dorset Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said it was believed the fire was accidental, caused by carelessly discarded smoking materials.
