Two people were rescued from a house fire in Borehamwood this morning.

Fire crews from Borehamwood and Potters Bar were called to Cleveland Crescent at 10.40am on New Year’s Eve after a fire broke out in the kitchen of a terraced house.

Firefighters wore breathing apparatus to enter the smoke-logged house to rescue the two trapped occupants.

The fire is thought to have started on a stove.

Ambulance staff treated one person at the scene for smoke inhalation.
