House fire: three men rescued
Crews rescued three men and extinguished a house fire in Grays.
Firefighters were called to Seabrooke Rise today at 4.25am after neighbours saw smoke coming from a property.
A man, who was suffering from smoke inhalation, was trying to get out of the first floor maisonette when crews arrived, but two men were still trapped in a bedroom.
Control Officers were on the phone to one of the men throughout; giving him life-saving advice, reassuring him that crews were on the way and helping to direct firefighters to their location.
