FIREFIGHTERS spent around ninety minutes dealing with a house fire in Dursley at around 3am on Sunday, December 2.

Two appliances from Dursley Fire Station were sent to the scene on Fourth Avenue and extinguished the small fire on the first floor using one hosereel, and four sets of breathing apparatus and a fan to clear the smoke from nearby properties.

A Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue spokesman said the cause was not known but it was not being treated as suspicious.
