(about 5 hours later)
A man and a woman in their seventies have been taken to hospital with smoke inhalation after a fire in Anglesey. An elderly man and woman were rescued from an Anglesey house fire after being alerted by smoke alarms.
The pair - both in their seventies - needed hospital treatment for smoke inhalation, but have since been released.
Crews from Llangefni and Menai Bridge were called to the house in Rhosmeirch, near Llangefni, at 04:00 GMT.Crews from Llangefni and Menai Bridge were called to the house in Rhosmeirch, near Llangefni, at 04:00 GMT.
Initially, it was reported the fire started in the roof space, but later the fire service said it began in the living room. Fire alarms had previously been fitted at the property by North Wales Fire and Rescue Service.
The pair were led to safety by firefighters wearing breathing apparatus. "The early activation of the smoke alarm allowed the residents to call 999, and control operators were able to give fire survival advice before firefighters led them to safety," said Darren Jones from the fire service.
Both were taken by ambulance to hospital in Bangor. "This kind of incident clearly demonstrates the importance of working smoke alarms - they really can save your life and the lives of your loved ones.
The cause of the blaze is still being investigated but the fire service said it is thought to have started in the living room. "These smoke alarms were fitted by a member of the service free of charge through a free home fire safety check - everyone should have working smoke alarms in their homes."
There was extensive smoke damage to the ground floor. The fire caused substantial smoke damage to the ground and first floors of the property and slight fire damage to the living room.
A Welsh Ambulance Service spokesperson said: "We were called at 4.15am to reports of a fire at a property in Rhosmeirch, near Llangefni. The cause of the blaze is thought to be electrical.
"A paramedic in a rapid response car and an emergency ambulance were dispatched to the scene, and a man and a woman in their seventies with smoke inhalation were taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd hospital in Bangor."
