Fatal blaze was like 'something from the Blitz'

Gold and yellow, they contrast starkly with the blackened window frames and scorched walls of the house behind them.

The fire-charred remains of what was once a home stand as the aftermath of a tragedy in a south Manchester suburb.

A fire swept through the semi-detached property in Chorlton taking one man’s life.

One firefighter said: “A colleague described the scene as like something from the Blitz. The fire was so fierce it was one of the worst house fires seen in years. Smoke and flames were coming out of every window. It completely enveloped the property.”

Neighbours of the man who died have left bouquets outside the house which is on Ellesmere Road South.
