Five people have been taken to hospital as a precaution after a fire at flats in Weston last night.

A woman and three children had to be rescued from the roof after crews were called out to the converted house on Ashcombe Road at about 8-40.

3 pets were also saved - while another woman is also in hospital, and it's thought the blaze started in her flat when a cylinder was being changed on a portable camping stove.
