Two people are rescued from fire

Two people have been taken to hospital following a fire in Lincolnshire.

Fire crews were called to a bungalow on King Johns Road in Swineshead, near Boston, in the early hours.

Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the building, located the occupants and then led them to safety.

They were initially treated at the scene by paramedics. It is believed the fire was caused by an electrical fault at the property.
