MORE than 50 students had to be evacuated after a kitchen hob was left on.

Firefighters were called to Huddersfield University’s Storthes Hall campus in Kirkburton at 2am today after a flat filled with smoke.

A jug of oil left next to a burning hob was to blame for the incident.

Huddersfield fire crews used breathing apparatus and ventilation fans to clear the smoke.

Nobody was injured.
