Flat fire in high rise building - one person rescued
Firefighters were called to a flat fire on the 2nd floor of a high rise building in Southend last night.
Crews entered the flat and extinguished the fire.
Firefighters rescued one casualty who was suffering from smoke inhalation.
Station Manager Jason Gould said: "We believe the fire started in the kitchen. It's really important to keep your hobs, ovens and grills clean as a build-up of fat and grease can ignite a fire.
