Two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the house and led two people to a safe place outside.
The occupiers were suffering from the effects of smoke inhalation, and they were treated by paramedics at the scene but declined hospital treatment.

A covering jet and a cordon were both set up.
The chip pan was taken out of the house and the gas and electricity supplies to the property were isolated.
