TWO people were treated for smoke inhalation after a fire broke out in a Barrow house.
Cumbria fire and rescue said three engines from Barrow and Walney attended a fire which started in a bedroom on the first floor of a house on Derby Street.
Two casualties suffering smoke inhalation were attended to by ambulance crews. One dog was rescued from the property.
The fire was extinguished using six breathing apparatus, three hose reel jets and a thermal imaging camera. Fire crews were in attendance for approximately one hour and twenty minutes.
A Cumbria Police spokesman said police were contacted just before 10pm on Thursday night.
