An explosion and fire at a block of flats in Jersey have left at least three people dead. Authorities have confirmed that 12 people are still missing.
Jersey Fire and Rescue Service’s Chief Fire Officer, Paul Brown, confirmed they had been called and had carried out investigations on the three-storey building just hours before the huge blast at around 4am on Saturday (December 10). At a press conference on Saturday afternoon, Mr Brown said firefighters attended the site in St Helier on Friday night after receiving a call at 8.36pm, reports PA.
States of Jersey Police chief officer Robin Smith said that around 12 people were missing, adding: “My hope, of course, is that the number is a lot less.”
