A WOMAN and her elderly mother escaped a house fire in Canewdon.
The younger woman tried to tackle the flames when an electrical fault started a fire in a fridge freezer.
She suffered smoke inhalation and slight burns to her hands.
Crews from Southend and Rochford attended and extinguished the blaze at about 4.20 this morning.
