Person rescued from house fire in Carnforth

Firefighters have rescued a person from a fire in a house in Carnforth.

Three fire engines from Lancaster, Bolton le Sands, and Carnforth were called at 3.45am on Wednesday, April 23 to a kitchen fire at a terraced property at Haws Hill.

A Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: "Firefighters used two breathing apparatus units, one hose reel jet, and positive pressure ventilation to extinguish the fire.

"One casualty was rescued by firefighters who were detained for one hour and four minutes."

A post on Carnforth Fire Station Facebook page said: "On arrival crews used a door ram to enter the property which was completely smoke logged.

"One person was led outside from the property by firefighters and checked over by North West Ambulance Service. 

"The cause of the fire was cooking left unattended on the hob and in the oven.

"May we remind people to not try and re-enter a property that is smoke logged for valuables and pets. We are professional, trained and have the correct PPE to enter buildings in these situations."
