AN ELDERLY person was treated for smoke inhalation after a kitchen fire.
Fire crews from Amesbury and Salisbury were called to Wittenham View, Amesbury, just after 9.30am on January 19.
Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "The elderly occupant had limited mobility and was not able to leave the property. The Control Firefighter taking the emergency call stayed on the line to them and gave fire survival guidance, encouraging the occupier to move towards a door to get fresh air."
The first fire crew arrived quickly and assisted the occupier outside into fresh air.
The fire involved an item left on a cooker hob and was quickly extinguished.
The service added: "Natural ventilation was used to clear the property of smoke.
"Firefighters used a trauma pack and oxygen therapy to treat the occupier for possible smoke inhalation and an ambulance was also quickly on scene to provide medical care."
