The fire and rescue service received a call to smoke in a property at St Aubyn's Road, Truro.

Two appliances and a Wholetime Officer were mobilised to the incident.

Crews arrived to find a fire that was between the floor and ceiling joist. Two breathing apparatus, one hose reel and a thermal imaging camera was used to deal with the fire.

Crews extinguished the fire but spent some considerable time cutting away and damping down to ensure the property was safe.
