TWO CHILDREN AND two women have died in a house fire in Bexleyheath in south-east London.
Six fire engines and around 40 firefighters were called to the blaze on Hamilton Road around 8.30pm yesterday, the London Fire Brigade (LFB) said in a statement.
Crews in breathing apparatus rescued two women and two children from the first floor using a nine metre ladder.
All four died at the scene, the LFB said.

Well done to the anti-vaxxers.
@Terry Fagan VO: It’s highly likely that their misinformation and outright lies were responsible for many avoidable deaths and severe illnesses due to COVID, but from reading the article I’m failing to see how their anti-science boIIoxology is definitively responsible for this ?
This has to seriously be the most st-upid ig-nor-ant and,without any factual evidence whasoever,comment ever. You are no better, actually you are worse, than the cohort you are trying to blame.Your ilk should not be allowed anywhere near a comment forum. It’s beyond embarrassing.
@Terry Fagan VO: while the jury is still out ,this looks like reaction to adenovirus as herd immunity dropped during lock downs ,similar to the peak in rsv
What type of Hepatitis is this.
@Dave Barrett: Inahapatitis
@Dave Barrett: they know its no a b c d or e! It’s a mystery atm apparently.
“ new infections spreading to Ireland” ? You’d want to fact check that! . Spreading and to suggests there are links but there aren’t any yet. All we know is cases have arisen in these countries. I read it could be catch-up cases.
have your say
