The women were taken to Queen Alexandra Hospital suffering from smoke inhalation.

The fire is believed to have started from the cooker and the residents were alerted thanks to the property’s smoke alarm.

Gosport fire crew manager Adam Way said: ‘I would like to remind people to be mindful of leaving things cooking in the kitchen and the need to have working smoke alarms.’
