Four fire engines attended and the fire was located in third floor flat. Three people were rescued from the building during the early stages of the fire.

Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service said the fire has been extinguished and that all residents have been accounted for.

A spokesperson from West Midlands Ambulance said: “We were called by the fire service at 6.58am to a house fire in Oken Court.

"We sent two ambulances, two paramedic officers and the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance critical care car.

"We treated two patients for smoke inhalation and they were conveyed to hospital for further treatment.”

A road closure was in place while the fire was dealt with but the road has since reopened.
