St Helier flat fire calls 'prevented serious incident'
Fire crews in Jersey forced their way into a burning flat after getting "numerous calls" about the blaze.
Jersey Fire and Rescue Service was called to a block of flats in Kensington Place, St Helier, at about 05:30 BST.
The person inside was rescued and not injured after nine firefighters were sent to the scene.
Fire bosses thanked neighbours for their quick reaction, saying they "prevented a more serious incident".
The blaze was started by unattended cooking.
Watch commander Craig Channing "although the occupant had sustained no effects from the smoke-filled flat, the quick actions of their neighbours to alert us prevented a more serious incident occurring".
