A woman and three children have been rescued from a roof in Weston, after a fire at flats on Ashcombe Road.

Crews were called out to the converted house at about twenty to nine last night - and used ladders to get the family down, while tackling the flames at the ground floor property.

They were taken to hospital as a precaution, along with another woman from the flat where the fire started, which it's thought was when a cylinder was being changed on a portable camping stove.
