Crews in tumble dryer fire rescue

One person has been rescued from a four-storey building in Cornwall after a fire broke out.

Fire crews from Falmouth and Redruth were sent to the property in Swanpool Street, Falmouth.

The fire, involving a tumble dryer, started in the building's basement, was confined to the basement but left the rest of the house smoke-logged.

The rescued person was taken to hospital to be treated for the effects of breathing in smoke.
