News Homes evacuated due to blaze
Seven people had to be evacuated after a fire on Salisbury Avenue in Goole during the early hours of Saturday.
A three-storey property and two adjoining properties were smoke-logged after fire broke out after an electrical heater was left on in an outhouse. Two crews from Goole attended around 6.20am and used breathing apparatus, a hose-reel and a positive pressure ventilation fan to tackle the fire and its aftermath.
Paramedics were also requested to treat three people suffering from smoke inhalation but they were not taken to hospital. The gas supply was isolated as a precaution.
Dan Hind, spokesperson for Humberside Fire and Rescue, advised people not to leave electrical heaters switched on if they were unattended.
