Three rescued from fire at Co Antrim flat

Three people, including a one-year-old child, have been rescued from a fire at a flat in Co Antrim.

Emergency services were alerted to the fire in a ground floor flat at Eglinton Street in Portrush at about 11pm last night.

A man was rescued from the ground floor and officers wearing breathing apparatus rescued a woman and the baby from a first floor flat.

It is thought the fire started in a grill pan.

A spokesperson from the Fire and Rescue Service said the fire alarm system had prevented serious consequences.
