Fire investigation manager Lucie Poxon said: "Following a fire investigation, we can now confirm that the cause of the fire has been deemed as accidental. The fire was located behind the door of a bedroom in the property, and a boy was rescued by attending fire crews from this room, who provided emergency aid prior to the arrival of EMAS [paramedics].
