EMERGENCY services rushed to the scene of a house fire in Runcorn this morning, Thursday.
Four fire engines from Runcorn, Widnes, Warrington, and Penketh fire stations were dispatched to Centurion Row.
This came after Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service were called to reports of a kitchen fire in a terraced home at 6.06am.
Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used two hose reel jets to extinguish the fire.
Immediate neighbours were also evacuated as a precaution due to it being a terraced property.
All occupants were accounted for, and paramedics from North West Ambulance Service attended to treat casualties for smoke inhalation.
A high-pressure fan was used to clear the smoke.
