Residents evacuated as fire crews attend Portsmouth flats
Residents were evacuated from a small block of flats in Cross Street, Portsmouth, late on Sunday evening after fire crews were called to the scene.
A number of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service appliances were seen at the location at around 10.35pm, with blue lights visible along the residential street.
People living inside the premises were evacuated while firefighters carried out checks and confirmed the building was safe.
The exact circumstances of the incident have not yet been confirmed, and it is currently unclear whether crews were responding to an active fire, smoke inside the building, or another emergency call.
Further details are expected once the fire service provides an update.
More to follow.
