TWO people were taken to hospital last night following a house fire in Greenock.
Four Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) appliances rushed to Wren Road shortly after 8.30pm.
Video footage from the incident showed flames leaping from a first floor window at the semi-detached property.
A SFRS spokesperson said: “We were alerted at 8.37pm on Thursday, 4 January to reports of a dwelling fire in Greenock.
"Operations control mobilised four fire appliances to the town's Wren Road, where firefighters extinguished the fire and worked to make the area safe before leaving the scene.
"Two casualties were transported to hospital by Scottish Ambulance Service personnel."
