Three appliances from Wilmslow, Cheadle and Poynton attended a house fire at Moorsbrook Grove, Wilmslow last night, Thursday November 11th, at 23:26. Crews wearing breathing apparatus assisted three people suffering from smoke inhalation and used a hose reel to exitinguish the fire, which was on the ground floor of the property.
Then just after midnight firefighters were alerted to a house fire on Cranford Road in Wilmslow. On arrival crews discovered that one person was unaccounted for so a further appliance from Cheadle was called in to help.
Meanwhile four firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the property and successfully rescued a woman from the building. A hose reel jet and a positive pressure ventilation fan was used to deal with the fire.
The rescued woman was given first aid by the crews while they waited for the ambulance to arrive, she was then taken to hospital.
An investigation into the cause of both fires is underway.
