Watch: Smoke pours through windows and doors as Rowley Regis house wrecked by fire
Dramatic footage has shown the severity of a house fire that raged through a property in Rowley Regis.
Emergency services rushed to the scene of Brickhouse Road, Rowley Regis, at around 7.20pm on Tuesday to reports of a fire at a property on the road.
Four crews were dispatched to the scene, where, on arrival, they discovered a house that was consumed by smoke and flames.
It was later confirmed that a woman and a teenager were taken to hospital from the scene for treatment for suspected smoke inhalation.
Residents shared their concerns over the affected family, saying that they "hope they are okay".
Now, dramatic footage shared with the Express & Star has shown the severity of the blaze, with smoke seen pouring out of the windows and doors of the property.
In the footage, neighbours could be seen standing next to the smoke-filled building, with fire service personnel working at the scene.
A nearby neighbour said: "You could see the smoke coming from the windows and doors. It was terrible.
"We aren't sure what caused it, but a lot of people were watching and trying to help. With respect to the emergency services, they got here quite quickly, really."
The smoke from the flames of the fire could be seen rising well above the neighbouring houses, with the street partially obscured.
Another resident said: "We don't get many fires down here. Everyone was on the street when it happened.
"It looked terrible with all the smoke, you can see by the windows how hot it was. You can only hope they're alright, though."
Emergency services have been approached for more information.
