A FIRE crew from Chippenham were called out to sheltered housing in Malmesbury after a pipe burst and flooded an elderly person's home.

The crew quickly isolated the water supply and used an aquavac machine to suck out the water.

The incident happened at 4.30pm on Tuesday (Feb 25) at Glovers Court sheltered housing scheme in Malmesbury.

A fire and rescue service spokesman said: "It was just a case of clearing up and helping out."
