FOUR people were rescued from smoke-filled flats on Tuesday night after a fire broke out in St Clement.

Jersey Fire and Rescue Service attended an apartment block just off of Maupertuis Lane on Tuesday evening after receiving a report of a fire.

A total of 18 firefighters and a duty station commander attended the scene and the flats were evacuated before the fire service brought people back to safety using smoke-hoods.

Some of the residents were treated on scene by the ambulance service for smoke inhalation, however no one was injured.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
