One person rescued from flat fire in Dorchester
Two crews from Dorchester and Weymouth were called after neighbours heard an alarm
One person has been rescued from a flat fire in Dorchester.
Crews from Dorchester and Weymouth were called to the smoke filled property on Friday night after neighbours heard an alarm.
They found one person inside, who was evacuated from the building and placed into the care of an ambulance crew.
A spokesperson for Dorchester Fire Station said:
"Upon arrival crews gained entry and found the flat to be smoke logged with one person still inside. The cause of the smoke was found to be cooking which had been left on.
"We cleared the smoke from the property and gave Casualty care to the occupier until we handed over to the ambulance.
"If you can take anything from incident please let it be that if you hear a fire alarm, check on it as you might save someone’s life."
