An elderly woman has been treated for smoke inhalation after a fire broke out in her Rutherford unit last night.
Fire crews were called to a block of 8 units on Churchill Drive just after 8.30 and had to force their way into one of the apartments to rescue the woman.
They found a fire in the kitchen area - it's taken about an hour-and-a-half to extinguish and mop up the fire, which caused damage to 20 per cent of the unit - the rest of apartment was damaged by smoke and water.
Adjoining units were not damaged in the blaze.
