TWO people were treated for smoke inhalation last night as emergency crews fought a house fire.

Three fire pumps from Hereford were called to a large property in Yarkhill at 7.25pm.

Officers said the fire took around 45 minutes to extinguish and caused extensive damage to one room of the house.

They added that at the time of the call, persons were thought to be in the building, but on arrival all were accounted for.

The cause of the fire is unknown.
