Two people suffering from smoke inhalation were taken to hospital over the weekend, following an incident at a Crewe flat.

On Saturday 8 November, Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service were called to Cornwall Grove, after a smoke alarm sounded.

At 3.46am, two fire engines from Crewe arrived at the scene, discovering fumes coming from a flat kitchen.

Crewe firefighters used a high-pressure fan to clear the smoke, coming from an unattended pan on a hob.
