Fire at high-rise flats near Belfast - BBC News
One person was rescued from a burning tower block and a number of residents were led to safety after a fire broke out at high-rise flats outside Belfast.
Firefighters were called to Coolmoyne House in Dunmurry at about 17:30 GMT as flames and smoke hit multiple floors.
On arrival, crews were faced with "a well-developed fire on the ninth floor" the NI Fire and Rescue Service said.
The flats were evacuated, and four people were treated by paramedics. The fire was extinguished by 18:10 GMT.
Lagan Valley Hospital said that two people - a man and a woman - were stable after being admitted following the fire.
Geoff Somerville, group commander with the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service, said firefighters rescued a man from the flat in which the fire started.
He said they believed the fire was "accidental" and that the man "was making toast at the time".
