A man had to be treated for breathing in smoke after a blaze broke out in the roof space of a building.

Four fire engines were sent to Park Road, Ramsgate, shortly before 3pm yesterday.

Crews administered first aid and oxygen to a man suffering from slight smoke inhalation.

Firefighters cut away and exposed all affected timber and ensured they were cool prior to leaving.

They had left the scene by 3.15pm.
