FIREFIGHTERS tackled a fire in the front living room of a property in the Acomb area of York last night (October 24).
Crews were called to the incident in Severus Avenue at about 8.20pm.
When they arrived crews found a sofa "well alight" inside, North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said.
A spokeswoman for the service added: "One person had slight smoke inhalation but didn’t require hospital treatment."
The crews used two breathing apparatus and a hose reel to put out the fire and ventilated the property using a positive pressure ventilation fan.
