FIREFIGHTERS tackled a blaze in the stairwell of an apartment building on Princes Drive last night (Thursday).
Three fire engines were sent to tackle the fire at approximately 8.15pm in the communal stairwell of a two-storey building.
Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus extinguished the fire using a hose reel.
Station Commander Adrian Farmer said: “The residents were requested to remain in their apartments with the doors closed.
“One female resident was given a precautionary check by West Midlands Ambulance Service at the scene for smoke inhalation.
“The building was quickly handed back to the housing association and we would like to thank the residents for their co-operation,” he added.
The cause of the fire is being currently investigated by fire investigation officers, assisted by West Mercia Police.
