A man was forced to jump from a first floor window to escape a house fire which killed a woman and three dogs.
He was one of two men who managed to escape the severe blaze before firefighters arrived, but sadly the woman and dogs could not get out and were confirmed dead at the scene in Spring Road, Wolverhampton.
The fire took hold of the two-story property in the Ettingshall area at about 2.30am today (May 25). Three fire engines and two ambulances were sent to the scene, BirminghamLive reports.
