Police investigating arson
Five people have been rescued from a fire at a block of flats in Plymouth in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Emergency services were called to Radford Avenue in the Sutton and Mount Gould area around 4.15 a.m.
Fire crews from Camels Head and Greenback fire stations found a group of people unable to escape from the property.
Four were taken down by ladder from a first floor flat.
Another person was rescued from a ground floor flat through a window.
The fire started in refuse in a communal area and was extinguished by fire crews before pressure ventilation was used to clear the smoke.
The cause of the fire is deliberate and the police are investigating.
