Fire crews gave oxygen to one person who was suffering from carbon monoxide exposure and smoke inhalation but refused to go to hospital.

No one else was hurt.

The cause and the extent of the damage are not yet known.

Fire officials say they will be on site watching for hot spots into the early hours of the morning.
