Two people have died after a tragic house fire.
Mercy crews raced to the scene at Woodland Terrace, in Darlington on Saturday morning at around 4.45am. Flames had completely engulfed the ground and first floors of the house by the time they arrived, reports Teeside Live.
One man was rescued from the blaze and transported to a nearby hospital but died later on in the day. A woman was also found inside the property, and was pronounced dead at the scene.
