An elderly woman was rescued by firefighters after she collapsed in her bathroom.

The crew from Fairweather Green was called to New Line, in Greengates, Bradford, at about 7pm yesterday. The elderly woman's daughter contacted West Yorkshire Fire Service after she was unable to get into the bathroom herself.

A service spokesman said: "The lady felt faint and had fallen against the door. So we had to open the door very slightly and help her up before the ambulance came to administer first aid."
