Four people and a pet cat have escaped a fire at their home in Bellozanne Valley.

Firefighters were called out at around 1am on Sunday morning (16 January) to a property attached to a warehouse.

Two fire engine with nine crew from Red Watch arrived at the scene to find a large amount of smoke coming from the doors and windows.

Four firefighters went in with breathing apparatus and put out the fire before it spread to neighbouring buildings.

It's thought the blaze started in an airing cupboard. The cause is being investigated.

The Fire Service says the smoke alarm in the property undoubtedly saved the lives of the people living there and enabled them to escape uninjured.
