Investigation underway after house fire in Westcliff
Nobody inside the home was hurt
An investigation is underway after a house fire in Westcliffe last night.
Crews were called to St Helens Road at 8:56pm last night, with the flames under control around two hours later.
Nobody inside the home was hurt.
Essex Fire Group Manager Marc Diggory said: "We believe the fire started in a bedroom on the top floor of the three-storey property and crews did a fantastic job of stopping it from spreading.
"Crews are extinguishing hotspots and we hope to scale down the incident and reopen roads in the area soon; thank you to residents for your patience."
