An 11-year-old boy has tragically died in a house fire in the early hours of this morning as two adults and two children were able to flee the horror blaze.
Named locally as 'Daniel,' the year seven secondary school student was described as a “happy” boy by his friend.
The fire broke out in a second-floor flat in Barking, London, and even before firefighters could reach the fire, two adults and two children had left the burning flat and were later taken to hospital as another man was treated at the scene.
