Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service tackled a serious house blaze at a Crewe property - with one casualty taken to hospital.
The incident at a property on Lunt Avenue was reported at 7:58pm last night (September 6).
Two fire engines from Crewe, one from Nantwich and the rapid response rescue unit from Nantwich quickly arrived at the scene.
On arrival, firefighters discovered a large fire within the kitchen of a house.
Reports to Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service claimed that people could be trapped inside the property.

"One casualty suffered smoke inhalation and was taken to hospital by the ambulance service.
"The fire started accidentally."
