Three people have been taken to hospital for a check-up following a blaze this afternoon at their house in Keighley.
A couple and baby fled the terraced house in Ashleigh Street, Showfield, just before 1pm.
The fire began in the basement kitchen and filled the three-storey house with smoke.
Three fire appliances and at least one ambulance were called to the scene.
Six firefighters wearing breathing apparatus tackled the blaze with hose reels, then ventilated the house.
A West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "Three casualties have been taken to hospital for a precautionary check-up for slight smoke inhalation."
A neighbour, who did not want to be named, said the family was in the basement when the fire broke out.
