Ilkeston neighbours heard a 'bang' and 'crackling' after a fire broke out at a house

Neighbours have recalled hearing a ‘bang’ after a fire broke out in the early hours of the morning at a home in Ilkeston. Firefighters and police officers were called to the scene on Ash Street, Ilkeston, just before 4am on Friday (June 30).

Neighbours have shared their ‘shock’ of the incident on what they describe as a ‘lovely' street. For the six years that Heidi Birchnall has lived on Ash Street nothing like this happened before.

“It was a bit of a shock, it was roughly about half three. It was scary to see it because you hear about it but never see it," she said.
