THREE people were given oxygen treatment after a living room fire that badly damaged a property in Glenmore Road, Minehead, early this morning (Wednesday).

The fire crew arrived at the scene at 3.15am to find that the fire was out but the casualties, all adults, needed treatment and an ambulance was called.

Some 40 per cent of the living room was damaged by fire and 80 per cent smoke damage was caused to the rest of the property, which needed ventilating.
