FIREFIGHTERS have tackled a blaze in a Canvey flat.
Crews were called to a fire in the hallway of a flat in Middlesburgh, off Church Parade, at 10.30pm on Tuesday.
Crews used two hose reels and breathing apparatus to extinguish the flames in about 20 minutes.
The occupier of the flat, a middle aged woman, was not at home at the time of the fire.
