A 44-year-old man has been taken to hospital after an early morning bedroom fire in the Cove area of Aberdeen.

Two crews from Altens Fire Station and one from Aberdeen Central were called to the scene.

It is understood local residents thought the incident was initially a false alarm until they saw flames and thick black smoke coming from the house.

The fire was put out with the control room receiving the confirmation that it was under control at 5.39am. Crews eventually left at about 7.30am.
