AN ELDERLY woman was taken to the hospital after a fire in a three-storey block of flats last week.

A woman in her 80s was taken to hospital after the fire broke out at a flat in Spring Lane, near the city centre.

Pictures taken by Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue show the extent of the damage that the fire caused.

The fire was caused by a small electrical appliance.

A spokesperson for Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue said: "Two crews from Worcester were called at 9.23am, on June 21 2022, to a fire in a ground floor flat in a 3 storey block of flats at Doltons Wharf, Spring Lane, Worcester.
