At 5:24pm on Tuesday, 11 November, we received reports of a fire in a flat on Battle Square in Reading.
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service crews from Caversham Road, Wokingham Road, Whitley Wood and Theale fire stations were sent to the scene.
Upon arrival, crews found a kitchen fire. Firefighters equipped with breathing apparatus used one hose reel to put out the fire, before using a ventilation fan to clear the smoke from the area. Firefighters rescued one person from the property, and gave another person immediate emergency care while awaiting South Central Ambulance Service.
They were on scene for approximately 55 minutes.
