Flat fire - no working smoke alarms
Firefighters were called to reports of smoke coming from a first floor flat in Wickford.
When crews arrived they reported that the flat and roof space was full of smoke. The flat was on the first floor above a restaurant.
Watch Manager Finbar Tubby said: "The fire which started in the bedroom had spread through to the loft space and into the next property. Crews did a great job to stop it from spreading further.
