Man rescued from Malvern Flat

A man was rescued from a flat in Worcester Road, Malvern, on Wednesday evening (June 2).


On arrival at the property, at just before 5.30pm, firefighters heard an automatic fire alarm sounding and saw smoke coming through the door of a second floor flat. Once inside the property crews found a man on a bedroom floor and rescued him from the premises. The stop message was given at 6.10pm last night and a fire investigation officer was called to the scene. The officer determined that there had not been a fire at the property but a dry powder extinguisher had been used within the property, which caused the 'smoke' to fill the property. The male occupant was taken to hospital by the ambulance service.
