FIREFIGHTERS were called to a Southampton home today when a blaze broke out in a bedroom.

The fire started in a first floor room in a semi-detached property in Hawkley Green, Weston, at 4.46pm.

Crews from St Mary's and Hightown fire stations used a hose reel and two breathing apparatus to put out the flames.

It is believed that the occupants were out at the time.

A spokeswoman for Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service was unable to disclose how much damage was caused.
