Eight fire engines, including an aerial ladder platform, were used at the height of the blaze, which broke out in a flat in Rowlands Road at 3.10pm yesterday (Saturday, May 20).

Much of the three floor property, including the roof, was seriously damaged in the fire.

Luckily no one needed to be rescued from the building.
