An elderly woman is recovering from smoke inhalation after a fire broke out in the kitchen of her Tenambit home.
Fire crews arrived at the Valentia Parade home just before 2pm yesterday to find neighbours guiding the 80-year-old to safety.
They used an extinguisher to douse an oven fire.
The woman's daughter, who's a registered nurse, cared for her mother at the scene.
Fire crews say if it wasn't for working smoke alarms, the impact of the blaze could have been much greater.
