| A five-week-old baby girl has died and a three-year-old boy seriously injured in a fire at a house in Bradford. | |
| The baby girl died after firefighters carried her out of the blaze at the house in Sandford Road, Barkerend, just before midnight on Friday. | |
| The injured boy was taken to Bradford Royal Infirmary and later transferred to the specialist burns unit at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield. | |
| The children's mother managed to escape the blaze but suffered minor injuries. | |
| The 27-year-old was taken to Bradford Royal Infirmary for treatment, police said. | |
| Neighbours described how firefighters tried to save the baby | |
| The house was cordoned off on Saturday and forensic teams were at the scene investigating the cause of the fire. | |
| Neighbour Mohammed Khaliq described how he went into the burning house to try and help. | |
| He said: "I heard noises, the mum came out and shouted 'save my baby' and I went inside. | |
| "It was too smokey and (there were) no lights. I couldn't help anything, I tried my best. | |
| "Then the fire brigade came round and asked everyone to go." | |
| Mr Khaliq's daughter, Maneeza Begum, a nurse, also went to help after hearing sirens outside. | |
| She said: "I saw them take out - I didn't know what it was - and when I came near to the garden (I saw) it was a little baby and the fire brigade man was (trying to) resucitate it. | |
| "The mother was there so I calmed her down and brought her to my house. She was really devastated." |
