Emergency services rushed to a residential street in Bristol and blocked a key route near the M32 this morning.
Fire crews from three stations and Avon and Somerset Police attended the scene after a blaze broke out in a home on Heath Street in Eastville shortly after 8am (June 20). Road users were told to avoid the area as fire engines blocked access on Stapleton Road, close to the M32 slip road by Freemantle Road. This allowed firefighters to attend to the blaze from several angles.
Avon Fire and Rescue revealed the cause of the blaze to be accidental thought to be due faulty electrics. Fire crews departed the scene at around 11am but police and Western Power remain on the scene for further enquiries.
