The flames had been extinguished by the time we arrived at the scene, but the smell of smoke hangs in the air. | |
The paintwork on the front of this semi-detached property is scorched black in parts - the signs of extensive fire damage are evident. | |
Only remnants of a front door remained at the entrance of the house, with shards of glass on the floor inside. | |
A ladder was perched against the property, leading to an upstairs bedroom window which remained wide open, with curtains still hanging from the frame. | |
Two fire officers were at the scene where they appeared to survey the damage with torches. | |
A cordon was in place while officers in an unmarked police car kept watch. |
