An elderly woman is being treated in hospital for smoke inhalation and minor burns after being rescued from a fire at her flat in Stanley yesterday morning.
The woman’s sons escaped from the fire and were also taken to hospital.
The fire started at around 4.00 am in the ground floor flat at Stag Court in Stanley Park Road.
Eamon Slevin, Acting Blue Watch manager reported that it was only because of the speed with which firefighters were able to arrive on the scene and the quick reactions of the fire crews involved that the fire was not more serious.
An investigation into the cause of the fire will be carried out by London Fire Brigade.
