Heroic nurse ran to help after 'scary' blast in street

A newly-qualified nurse was the first at the scene when a woman's house was hit by a devastating fire.

Emergency services rushed to Oak Leigh in Tuebrook at around 9.30pm on Thursday, April, 6, after a reported explosion at a house.

Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service revealed today (Friday) that the cause of the fire was combustible materials falling onto an electrical cooker.
