Investigation launched after Bristol home gutted in blaze

Firefighters are investigating the cause of a fire which left the upstairs of a house in Bristol gutted.

Firefighters were called to a terraced house in Easton around lunchtime on Bank Holiday Monday and three fire appliances and the turntable ladder were sent to Claremont Street, just off Lower Ashley Road in St Agnes.

Around 15 firefighters attended the blaze and two of them bashed the door down and tackled the blaze with hose reels from inside.

Images from Bristol Live photographer Michael Lloyd at the scene, and from Temple Fire Station showed one of the upstairs rooms badly damaged by fire, with flame damage out of a shattered and blackened window.

A spokesperson for Avon Fire and Rescue Service said the fire began in a first floor terraced house, and thankfully there was no one in the house at the time.

“A fire investigation is continuing into the cause of this blaze,” he added.
