A home in Mile Cross had to be cleared of smoke after a fire broke out.

Firefighters were called to reports that a home in Soleme Road was on fire just before 3.45pm today.

Two fire engines - from stations at Sprowston and Earlham - went to the scene.

When they arrived, the crews found the fire had already been put out.

But crews did use a pressure ventilation fan to clear the smoke from the building.
