Two children die in Bristol house fire
Two boys have died in a fire at their home in the Bradley Stoke region of Bristol.
The two boys who were both under 10 years of age were found by firefighters on the first floor of the property. The parents and 3 siblings managed to escape from the blaze shortly before the emergency services arrived at 6.30am on Saturday.
William Roberts from the Avon Fire and Rescue Service said: “When crews arrived, the fire was fully developed and engulfing the first floor and roof space of an end of terrace three-bedroom house. Four firefighters wearing breathing apparatus attacked the fire using two fire-fighting jets and discovered the bodies of two children on the first floor”.
The property had been fitted with smoke alarms but it is not clear if they were in working order at the time of the fire.
