A 90-year-old woman was taken to hospital after breathing thick smoke from a cooking fire at her home.

Firefighters were called to Worsley Road, Gurnard, soon after 8.15pm yesterday (Thursday) to extinguish a frying pan on a hob.

"Carers were alerted and the woman was taken by ambulance to St Mary’s for treatment," said a fire and rescue service spokesman.
