Deadly Fire: People Jump From Burning Flat

Two people have died after a fire tore through neighbouring flats in Heston, west London.

Some 58 firefighters and officers were called to the blaze, which broke out above a shop in New Heston Road, in the London borough of Hounslow, at around 1.40am.

Three people are believed to have jumped from the second floor of the burning building before fire crews arrived.

An injured woman found in the street was subsequently pronounced dead, while two men, aged 18 and 37, are being treated for multiple injuries at St Mary's Hospital in central London.

Firefighters found the body of another person during a search of the flat.

London Fire Brigade sent eight fire engines to the scene

The names of those killed in the fire, which was spotted by police officers during a routine patrol, have not yet been released.

Kudzanayi Taziwa, who was in the building at the time, told Sky News: "I heard a loud bang. When I opened the window, I saw some shattered windows on the ground and I thought there had been a car crash. That's when I realised there was a body on the floor."

The cause of the blaze is under investigation by police and fire officers and is being treated as unexplained.

It is thought to have started inside one of the flats before spreading to neighbouring properties, damaging half of the roof of the building and parts of the second floor.

Around 50 people who were evacuated from their homes were taken to a nearby village hall.

The local council is attempting to find emergency accommodation for anyone unable to return.

Road closures are also in place while firefighters investigate the blaze.
