Multiple fire crews were called to a blaze at the front door of a house in a town with a person treated for breathing in smoke.

Firefighters were called at 6.31pm yesterday to a house in Sweden Place, Brandon, and upon arrival discovered smoke issuing from the front door of the property.

The blaze was extinguished using one hose reel jet by firefighters in breathing equipment, before crews then assisted with scene safety.
