Two dogs have been rescued after a fire broke out at a house in Andover.

Fire crews were called Tollgate Road at 12:04 yesterday (November 15).

Firefighters wore breathing apparatus and managed to local the spaniels in the home, which were carried to safety.

A woman was treated for smoke inhalation at the scene and was left in the care of paramedics.

Its thought the blaze was caused by a candle being left unattended.

Andover Crew Manager, James Street, said:

“My team worked really hard and were able to find the dogs and pick them up. They were then taken to a vet by a family member.

“Please always ensure candles are out.”
