One person whose house in Plymouth was on fire was helped out of the building by a neighbour with a ladder, firefighters say, external.
The occupant of the home in Parker Close called to report the first-floor blaze at about 05:30 on Monday while they were still inside the property.
The neighbour helped the occupant through a first-floor window.
Two fire appliances from Crownhill and Plympton were immediately mobilised to the scene, joined by a crew from Greenbank later to extinguish the fire.
Nearly 1,200 people have signed a petition against the closure of the fire station in Colyton.
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service announced plans last week to close the station, along with six others in Devon, including: Appledore, Ashburton, Budleigh Salterton, Kingston, Topsham and Woolacombe.
Those who started the online campaign against the move said: "As a community, we cannot let this happen.
"There must be a way around closing down stations that are needed in our communities."
The service said some stations attended only a handful of fires each year and had more resources than they needed.
