“The fire did not spread, and was contained within the flat where the blaze started, due to all of the flats being purpose-built.”
A fire alarm sounded in the flat block, which led to some residents leaving, but ‘others remained in their properties,’ added the spokesman.
Crews left the scene at around 12.45am.
