A number of flats have flooded after a large water leak caused damage this morning.

Firefighters were called to the scene and helped to remove the water.

Both crews from Swanage Fire Station attended the incident this earlier today (Saturday, August 6) after flooding had been reported on multiple floors in a block of flats.

Firefighters worked hard in the heat to isolate the leak and remove most of the water in order to reduce any further damage.

A spokesperson for Swanage Fire Station said they "attend all types of incidents" and added: "This morning both crews attended a flooding incident in a block of flats.

"A large water leak caused damage to flats on multiple floors."
