Emergency services were called to a flat in Paignton last night following reports of smoke and an alarm sounding.

2 fire engines from Paignton were mobilised to the sheltered accommodation on Dartmouth Road, following a call at 10.30pm from an alarm receiving centre who received a call from a concerned neighbour. They had reported an alarm sounding and smoke issuing from an adjacent flat. The neighbour said they could see the male occupant in his chair but were unable to make contact with him.
