A dog had to be rescued from inside a building where fire had broken out this lunchtime.

Crews from Helston and Penzance fire stations were scrambled to Ocean Crescent in Porthleven at midday.

Firefighters found the kitchen of a bungalow to be on fire.

They had to wear breathing equipment while putting out the flames with a hose reel.
