A dog was rescued from a burning house in Gosport last night.
Firefighters from Gosport and Fareham attended the Peel Common property in Glebe Drive around 9pm after the occupants had evacuated.
But with the family’s pet dog still inside and roaring flames coming from the kitchen, the rescue crews leapt into action to save the stricken animal. The kitchen was left ‘100 per cent damaged’ and the house significantly damaged. Investigation into the cause of the blaze is now underway.
