Residents have been evacuated from four blocks of flats after a fire in Carmarthenshire.

One man was taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation while four others were treated at the scene after a blaze at Granby Close in Llanelli.

A fire had broken out in a stairwell at the two-storey building at about 17:15 GMT on Thursday.

While it was put under control, safety concerns meant a 100 metre (328ft) cordon was put in place.

Five crews were called to the incident at the two-storey building while Carmarthenshire council provided accommodation for affected residents.
