A FLAT was left badly damaged by a blaze in Stockton last night.

Two fire crews from Stockton, one from Thornaby and the hydraulic platform from Middlesbrough responded at 8.47pm on Wednesday to the home in Marwood Square, Fairfield.

Two rooms were damaged by fire and four rooms damaged by heat and smoke. They used two hose reels and postive pressure ventilation to tackle the flames. Crews were at the scene for about an hour.
