FIREFIGHTERS forced their way into a Guiseley house to help a pensioner who had fallen over.

The 89-year-old woman had toppled over in the living room of her house on Carrington Terrace.

Fire crews from Rawdon station were called to the property by one of the woman's neighbours at about 11.30pm on Saturday.

A fire service spokesman said the pensioner was not injured, but added she was "shaken" by the incident.
