A man had to be rescued by firefighters after a kitchen blaze.

Crews from Worthing and Lancing were called to a property in Ham Road, Shoreham, shortly after 8.30pm on Monday night.

The first floor flat had filled with smoke after a fire in the kitchen.

Wearing breathing masks, they kicked down the door and led the male occupant to safety.

He was checked over at the scene for smoke inhalation but did not need hospital treatment.
