A 90-year-old woman has been left homeless after a fire in her home on Canvey.
The pensioner was treated at the house in Winterswyk Avenue by Essex Ambulance after suffering from smoke inhalation. She did not need hospital treatment.
Firefighters were called to the house and spent about two hours at the scene making sure everything was safe and secure. It was not yet clear what caused the fire.
