Residents of a city estate were afraid their properties might be damaged after a large house fire.
At 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday, twenty firefighters and six appliances from as far away as Buckingham arrived at the incident on Kingsfold in Bradville.
The fire was occurring in an abandoned home that had previously sustained fire damage, and they had gotten several calls regarding it.
When they got there, the property was fully on fire, and the flames were encroaching on the house next door.
Cordons were erected to protect individuals while worried neighbours watched on, scared for their homes, as firefighters struggled to contain it.
One observer said, “It’s the same house that caught fire a while ago.” “It was damaged severely the first time, and now it’s worse.”
Another said on social media: “It was supposed to have been knocked down by now. This shouldn’t have even happened.”
