Emergency services were called to a house fire in Salisbury this morning (Monday).
Three fire engines were sent to the incident in Richards Way, Harnham, at around 8.45am.
When a fire control room operator discovered the residents of the house remained inside, they were encouraged to get outside to safety.
Paramedics treated the occupants for suspected smoke inhalation. It’s not clear if they were taken to hospital for further care.
In a statement, Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “Three fire crews were sent to a report of a house fire in Harnham this morning.
“The occupants were still inside the property and the Control Firefighter who had answered the 999 call, encouraged them to make their way outside, and stayed on the emergency line providing reassurance until the arrival of our firefighters.
“The fire was located in a first floor bedroom and extinguished by crews using two hose reel jets and four breathing apparatus. They employed tactical ventilation to clear the smoke.
“An ambulance crew attended to treat the occupants for suspected smoke inhalation.”
