A man, dog and guinea pig have been rescued from a house fire.
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service sent two crews to the scene on Enborne Road in Newbury, where a first floor bedroom was alight, at about 13:00 GMT on Wednesday.
The man received "immediate emergency care" and was placed in the care of South Central Ambulance Service, the fire service said.
