00:26 A media park was sealed off by police on Tuesday night, with pictures showing multiple officers

00:45 A fire broke out at a residential property in Saunders Park View around 6.20pm on Tuesday.

00:51 Firefighters used breathing apparatus, an aerial ladder platform and two main jets,

00:56 and they were supported by police officers and ambulance crews at the scene.

00:59 Whilst the incident was ongoing, a fire service spokesperson said, "If you are local to the
