An elderly woman was rescued from her flat by firemen after a neighbour spotted her unconscious on the floor.

The woman had collapsed after smoke filled her kitchen in a third floor flat, at Barclay Court, The Esplanade in Bognor.

A neighbour raised the alarm at 1.45pm on Saturday after seeing smoke coming from the windows.

Two engines from Bognor and one from Chichester attended.

The woman was taken to hospital.

A spokeswoman said it was a small kitchen fire.
