A fire at a home in Dawlish left a total of 13 residents homeless. The fire broke out in a ground floor flat of the four-storey property in West Cliff.
Firefighters rescued a married couple from a first floor balcony of the Victorian listed building. Paramedics treated five residents at the scene, one for a foot injury and four for smoke inhalation.
Firefighters from Dawlish, Teignmouth and Torquay tackled the fire which is thought to be accidental. Three years ago the landlord installed a new fire alarm eystem and fire doors. Having this system no doubt helped to save lives.
