TWO children had a lucky escape when an electric shower caught fire.

Smoke started coming from the wall-mounted electric box when a six and an eight-year-old were having a shower at their grandma's house in Woodlands Lane, Dewsbury, yesterday at 1.55pm.

They quickly got out and firefighters were called but by the time they arrived flames had engulfed the bathroom.

No-one was hurt in the blaze.
