Two people have been taken to hospital after emergency services attended a care home in Dorset.
A South Western Ambulance Service spokesperson said they were called at 5.20am on Wednesday to an incident in Swanage, sending a hazard response team, 10 double-crewed ambulances and “a significant number of additional resources”.
“Two patients were conveyed by land ambulance to Poole Hospital,” they added.
People living near the scene in Ulwell Road saw Gainsborough Care Home residents being taken out of the building.
One man, who did not want to give his name, told the PA news agency: “They evacuated the care home, Gainsborough Care Home.
“They have taken all the patients out but the emergency services are still on the scene.”
