A man has died following a fire at a flat in Bristol.
Fire crews from Speedwell and Temple fire stations were quickly
on scene following a 999 call from neighbours.
On arrival firefighters gained access to the first floor
flat where they found an unconscious male behind the front
door.
The man was rescued from the property, but despite efforts by
firefighters and paramedics to revive him, he was pronounced dead
on arrival at hospital.
Two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used one hose
reel to fight the fire.
An investigation has been launched into the cause of the
blaze.
