Fire crews were called in the early hours to tackle a blaze in the lounge of a house.

The fire is said to have taken place at a mid-terrace, two-storey, domestic property in Baronsmead, Millbrook.

Crews from Redbridge and Totton were in attendance after the call came in at just after 3am this morning (October 7).

A spokesperson from Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "The fire was extinguished using two sets of breathing apparatus and one hose reel jet.

"We encourage the public to look at the home safety advice on our website, here you will find lots useful tips and information on how to create a personalised escape plan for you and your family to keep safe in an event of a fire."
