Investigations into cause of house blaze

10:03am Wednesday 12th July 2006 in Melksham By Craig Evry

FIREFIGHTERS were called to tackle a blaze at a house in Broughton Gifford in the early hours of this morning.

The fire broke out in a first floor bedroom at a house in Newleaze Park just after midnight. Neighbours heard screaming about 12.15am and fire crews from Trowbridge, Melksham and Bradford on Avon were on the scene within minutes.

Crews used two hose reels and breathing apparatus during the operation. It is believed no one was injured in the fire. Investigations are underway to find out what caused the blaze.

This morning, windows at the property are boarded up and walls remain blackened from the flames and smoke.
