Fire severely damages second-floor flat

Gambit Avenue, Oakgrove, Milton Keynes

Two appliances and crews from West Ashland, one from Broughton, one from Newport Pagnell and five officers attended. Firefighters used two main jets, one hose reel, six sets of breathing apparatus and a fan, and a 10.5-metre ladder to rescue a dog from a balcony on the second floor of the four-storey block.

The flat was 75 per cent damaged by fire and 100 per cent damaged by heat and water, and there was water and smoke damage to common and lobby areas.
