PUB revellers had to be evacuated after a fire broke out in the building.
The incident occurred at about 8.45pm on Thursday at the Halfway House pub on Church Street in Connah's Quay.
It involved a fire in a tumble dryer – caused by an electrical fault.
North Wales Fire and Rescue Service deployed two crews to the incident and 20 people were evacuated.
Firefighters used four sets of breathing apparatus, two hose reel jets and a thermal imaging camera in dealing with the incident and checking for hotspots afterwards.
Thankfully, no one was hurt and the tumble dryer was safely removed outside.
The fire was contained to the tumble dryer, but the upstairs room it was in suffered some smoke damage - and there was light smoke damage caused to the ground floor of the property.
Lee Williams, North Wales Fire and Rescue Service's deputy head of business fire safety, said: "“This incident really highlights how doors can help prevent fire spread, and why we encourage residents to close all internal doors as part of their night-time routine.
“The smoke, fire and heat damage were confined to the utility room as the utility room door was closed. This closed door prevented the smoke, fire and heat spreading to the rest of the first floor accommodation and to the pub downstairs."
