Severe damage was caused to the living room and smoke damage was kept to a minimum due to the doors inside the flat being shut.

The owner of the flat was out of the building at the time as firefighters found the kitten inside and carried it to safety.

No smoke alarm was fitted and fire chiefs are advising people to have one installed to prevent more serious incidents.
