A flat on the first floor was partly damaged by fire. A woman was rescued from the affected flat by firefighters using an internal staircase and was taken to hospital by London Ambulance Service crews.

The Brigade was called at 9.43pm and the fire was under control less than an hour later. Firefighters from Chiswick and Acton stations were at the scene.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
