Firefighters rescued two dogs from a burning bungalow in Witham this afternoon.
Crews were called to the home in Pelly Avenue at 1.30pm today (December 19) and found the building 25 per cent alight.
No one was trapped or missing as a result but the crews rushed the canines to safety.
Wearing breathing apparatus they extinguished the blaze with two hose reel jets by 1.41pm.
