Two rescued from kitchen fire

Crews from Bath, Radstock and Paulton fire stations were called to a fire in a ground floor flat.

On arrival, firefighters found a fire in the kitchen area and used three high pressure hose reels to extinguish the fire.

They also used two breathing apparatus for safety and a positive pressure ventilation fan to clear smoke from the property.

A male and female were rescued from the property and treated for smoke inhalation on scene. A cat and a dog were also rescued from the property.

Ambulance crews were also in attendance and the cause is thought to be accidental.

90 people die each year because the battery in their smoke alarm was flat or missing.
