Local fire teams from Mullion and Helston were out in the early hours of this morning to rescue a group from a property fire.

Assisted by a crew from St Keverne, the call was made just after 5am on Meaver Road, Mullion.

There was a fire reported inside the property with an individual nearby assisting to get four people out of the property.

To extinguish the blaze, firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used a high-pressure hose reel jet.
