TWO dogs and two litters of puppies have been rescued from a kitchen fire in Cheshire.

Firefighters were called to a semi detached house shortly before 2.15pm this afternoon (Tuesday, April 20).

Four firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used two hose reel jets to extinguish the flames at the house in on Long Lane, Middlewich.

A spokesman for Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "Firefighters rescued two adult dogs and two litters of puppies and administered oxygen.

"A large fan was used to ventilate the area while the gas and electricity supply was isolated."
