People have been left traumatised by the fire that broke out at a block of flats in Bristol at the weekend, a local woman has said.
The emergency services were called to Twinnell House, on Wills Drive in Easton, at around 2.15am on Sunday and evacuated 90 people from the block. Bristol City Council confirmed last night (Monday, September 26) that the blaze had been started accidentally by an electric bicycle in a flat on the top floor.
One man lost his life during the incident when, after climbing out a window to escape the blaze, he fell 16 floors to the ground below. His identity is yet to be confirmed. Several people were treated by paramedics at the scene and a few were taken to hospital to be checked over for smoke inhalation. As of last night, one person remains there with minor burns.
