Three people rescued from flat fire

A firefighter and the occupants of a property were taken to hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation, following a fire at a flat in Great Yarmouth early on Tuesday morning.

A couple and their child, along with a cat, were rescued from the property in Regent Street.

Duncan Ashworth, of Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service, told BBC Radio Norfolk that a lot of plastic material was involved in the fire, causing a lot of black, sticky smoke.
