Two fire crews were called to a flat fire in Sheffield this afternoon.

Officers raced to Exeter Drive, Broomhall, and found a second floor flat was “well involved,” a South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue spokesperson said.

They added: “One male casualty was transported to hospital believed to be suffering from smoke inhalation.”

Photos posted online show flames shooting out of the window of a flat with a huge plume of smoke obscuring the floors above.

Two hose reel jets were used to extinguish the flames. Two fire engines were still at the scene at 6.30pm on Thursday, April 10.

By 7.30pm emergency services had left the scene and flats damaged by fire and blackened by smoke were visible.

The cause is under investigation, the spokesperson added.
