A FLAT was completely burnt out and three others damaged in a fire last night.

A man and a woman thought to be in their early 20s had to be rescued but were unhurt.

A roof had to be taken from the most damaged flat on Burnmoor Close, off West Dyke Road, Redcar.

Police are investigating. Firefighters from Redcar, Middlesbrough and Grangetown were called to the scene shortly after 6pm and stayed for one hour.
