An elderly woman was evacuated from her home this morning after a fierce fire broke out in a kitchen on the roof.

Three fire-engines were deployed to the maisonette, in Walter Ganado Street, Pembroke, and firemen stopped the flames from spreading.

The woman was treated for smoke inhalation in an ambulance.

A fireman said it was possible that the blaze was caused by a lightning strike since power sockets were found to have melted.
