A devastating fatal fire which claimed the life of two people is not being treated as suspicious, police have confirmed.
Emergency services were called to a house on Woodland Terrace, in Darlington, in the early hours of Saturday morning. Firefighters battle the flames and rescued a man in his 70s from the blaze.
He had suffered serious injuries and was rushed to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary but sadly died later that day. A woman in her 50s was also rescued from the building but tragically died at the scene.
