Three dead after large house fire as inferno ripped through property – leaving three cops injured
THREE people have died after a fire ripped through a home, with cops also injured.
Police, fire and ambulance crews responded to reports of the blaze in Rushton, near Kettering, in Northamptonshire, at 10.30pm on Friday night.
Three people have died
However, despite the best efforts of emergency services at the scene on Beswick Close, three people were confirmed to have died.
Northamptonshire Police and Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service are conducting an investigation into the cause of the fire.
Three police officers also required hospital assessment due to smoke inhalation.
A neighbour told the Northamptonshire Telegraph: “It’s absolutely shocking. My lad said it was on fire. There was a man who had tried to get in who was outside. It was just an inferno.
“There were ambulance, police and fire. I don’t know the people who live there but all we can do is hope and pray.”
The home previously served as Rushton Station and housed the station master, with a train line running behind the building.
In 2009 a group was formed named Friends of Glendon and Rushton station to restore the station – which had been granted Grade II listed status in 1981.
It was later converted for residential use.
Anyone with information is asked to call Northamptonshire Police on 101 quoting incident reference 25000180391.
