TWO people have been taken to hospital after a fire broke out at a high-rise block of flats in Addlestone, on Saturday.
Around 40 firefighters, with 12 breathing apparatus, three jets and a hose reel, tackled the blaze in two flats on the fourth floor at Surrey Towers, Garfield Road.
Crews were called at 10.23am and left at around 12.41.
The pair taken to hospital are thought to have been in the two flats at the time and residents in all 97 flats, covering 17 floors, have been evacuated.
A spokeswoman for Surrey Fire and Rescue Service said: "Two flats were involved. It was quite a large fire."
Fire investigation officers are currently at the scene.
