FIREFIGHTERS were today tackling a blaze at a house in Lowestoft.

Two crews arrived on scene in Dene Road at around 10am to find the first floor and roof of the terraced property well alight.

After assessing the situation, a platform vehicle and a support pump were drafted in to help contain the fire.

No-one is thought to have been involved in the blaze, although paramedics treated a woman at the scene for hyperventilation after panicking as the drama unfolded.

The fire was extinguished just before noon
