A service spokesman said: "The incident involved fire to food in an oven, which had burnt itself out on the arrival of crews. The occupant had fallen asleep. They were woken by the alarms sounding and evacuated the property.
"The fire caused smoke damage to the kitchen and crews naturally ventilated the property and fitted new smoke alarms."
Two engines with crews from York and Acomb and a turntable ladder attended. There are no reports of anyone being injured or any damage to other properties.
