A woman has been arrested on suspicion of arson after firefighters revived a cat following a blaze at a ground floor flat in Leicester.
Crews were called to reports of a fire at a residential building on Manitoba Road, St Matthews, at about 18:30 BST on Saturday, Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service (LFRS) said.
The service added firefighters rescued a cat from the flat and revived it using a dedicated animal oxygen therapy mask and a person – who had escaped the flat before crews arrived – was treated for smoke inhalation.
Leicestershire Police said a 52-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of arson and has since been released on bail while investigations continue.
