Man and woman dead after house fire on The Wirral
Two people have died after a blaze tore through a home on Merseyside last night.
Police officers who were dealing with another incident on James Street in Seacombe, tried to force their way in to save them, but the heat and smoke was already too intense.
Fire crews managed to stop the flames spreading to neighbouring buildings, after fighting the flames for an hour.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue are now investigating what caused it.
