Smoke filled living room
A WOMAN who inhaled smoke was treated by paramedics following a fire in a flat.
Firefighters said a living room was filled with fumes after a cushion fell on to a heater in Keyham early on Saturday. But the occupants were alerted by a smoke detector.
Two fire crews were called to the first floor flat in Saltash Road at 1am. Firefighters found that the fire was out but the front room was filled with smoke.
Camels Head watch manager Nigel Toms said a woman was treated by paramedics for minor smoke inhalation. But she did not need to go hospital.

He added: "A cushion had fallen from a chair or settee on to a bar heater. The smoke alarm was set off. People in the flat were up and about and threw the cushion out of the window. The smoke detector went off and the people reacted, which is exactly what is meant to happen. It was a bit smokey in there but no real damage other than to the cushion."
Crews used a large fan to clear away the smoke.
A FIRE crew in Liskeard was called to a vehicle leaking petrol in a car park.

The animal, believed to have been trapped the whole of Saturday night, was left in the care of a vet.
