Residents of a block of flats in Cardiff have been left homeless after a huge fire tore through the building, gutting the roof and filling the street with thick clouds of smoke. Fire crews were called to the scene of the blaze at the two-storey building on Greenway Road, Rumney at 11pm on Friday, July 15.
Six fire engines attended to deal with the blaze, including an aerial appliance and a water bowser, with the fire finally brought under control at 9.35am on Saturday, July 16, with police, gas workers and council staff also all seen at the flats in the morning. The cause of the fire is yet to be confirmed.
While all residents made it out alive and uninjured, the majority of the eight flats in the building have been destroyed, with the roof reduced to its structural beams after being burnt out.
