FIREFIGHTERS battled a kitchen fire in Motherwell in the early hours of this morning.
The incident happened in the Lanarkshire town's Holytown at semi-detached house in Thistle Gardens at around 5.35am.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) say they sent a team into the house wearing breathing apparatus and the firefighters used a high pressure jet to quickly put out the flames.
SFRS crews also gave oxygen therapy to a woman who was suffering from the effects of breathing in smoke and requested the Scottish Ambulance Service attend.
The casualty received a check-up from paramedics at the scene but did not need to go to hospital.
Firefighters conducted cutting away operations and used a thermal imaging camera to search for any fire spread hidden within the building’s structure.
Crews from Bellshill, Coatbridge and Motherwell attended the incident and firefighters left the scene around 9:35am.
