A spokesperson for Lancashire Fire Services said: "Two fire engines and crews from Chorley and Leyland responded to a report of a fire in the conservatory of a house.

"The fire was already out on the arrival of firefighters and although the occupants had escaped from the fire, a woman was suffering the effects of breathing smoke and was attended to by paramedics. The fire is thought to have started in a dehumidifier."

Firefighters used a portable fan unit to extract the smoke from the premises.
