One appliance from St Austell attended a call to an alarm sounding from a neighbouring flat. On arrival the Officer in charge requested a second pump due to smoke issuing from a ground floor flat. The occupant was outside the property, crews used breathing apparatus to enter the flat and ventilate it naturally. The Ambulance service attended for a male with smoke inhalation. The cause was accidental and confined.
