Firefighters have tackled a thatched roof fire at a holiday resort in Devon.
The alarm was raised on Wednesday evening with reports of a chimney fire at a house in Edginswell, Torquay.
When crews arrived, the fire had spread to the thatched roof of the property. At its height about 70 firefighters tackled the blaze.
No-one was injured, but Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said the property was damaged and part of the roof had to be cut away.
