A woman has recalled the terrifying moment she discovered her neighbour’s burning down outhouse in Littleport.
Chloe Rose was cleaning her flat when she said she could smell burning and saw thick black smoke coming from the bottom of her garden.
The 20-year-old told this newspaper how she could see “bits of wood and things” flying into her garden. She described “actually hearing the fire”.
A spokesman for Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue said: “One male casualty was treated for smoke inhalation at the scene and left in the care of ambulance crews.”
Crews from Ely, Wisbech and Downham Market were called to the home on Church Lane at around 1pm on Tuesday, November 20.
