Ten-year-old girl dies in bedroom fire in Bradford
A ten-year-old girl has died following a fire in her bedroom in Bradford.
The child died after a fire broke out in the dormer bedroom she shared with her two sisters, aged 11 and six, who escaped the blaze along with her two-year-old brother.
The children’s mother, 37, was carried out of the property in Kingsdale Drive, Bradford, West Yorkshire, in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The children’s father, a teacher at a college in Bradford, was not at the property at the time of the incident.
Police were called shortly after 1am and shocked neighbours woke to see the bedroom of the semi-detached property, where the family have lived for 12 years, on fire as three fire crews battled to extinguish the blaze.
“I could only see the flames in the girls’ bedroom. Nowhere else. It is devastating,” a neighbour said.
“The poor little girl who has died is my daughter’s friend. My daughter is really upset. I saw the mother being escorted out of the building, she could not get out by herself.”
Another neighbour said her daughter used to play with the girl who died and her little brother in the back garden.
“She was only playing with them a couple of days ago on the slide they have in their garden. They also used to play ball on the street,” said the neighbour.
“They are a lovely family. Dad is a teacher in Bradford and he would always say ‘hello’ and ask how we are doing.
“My daughter is so very sad about losing her friend.”
On Sunday there was clear smoke damage to the upstairs of the property and family members who visited the property to pay their respects were too upset to talk.
Floral tributes were left at the police cordon on the driveway to the converted bungalow on the quiet cul de sac.
Police said that three children managed to escape with their mother, but the fourth child was pronounced dead at the scene.
The four family members were taken to hospital for treatment but their injuries are not life-threatening.
Detective Chief Inspector Zaheer Abbas of Bradford District Police said: “This is an absolutely tragic incident in which a young child has lost her life, our thoughts are with her family at this time.
“Our investigation with the fire service has deemed that the fire was not suspicious.
“The family are being supported by specially trained officers. A file will now be prepared for the coroner in due course.”
A spokesperson from West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue stated that fire investigators are working with colleagues in West Yorkshire Police to establish the circumstances of the incident.
