People inside a house were forced to flee after a severe fire broke out in a bedroom.
Fire crews arrived to find the people had managed to get outside as the blaze took hold.

Eight firefighters arrived within three minutes of the call at around 9.20am to tackle the blaze on the first floor.
A spokesman from West Midlands Fire Service said: "Firefighters using breathing apparatus tackled the fire, and the gas and electricity to the property was isolated."
Crews also used thermal imaging cameras to check whether the flames had reached the roof and loft but they found the fire had been contained.

West Midlands Fire Service had it will investigate the cause of the blaze.
