Residents living at an East Bristol tower block that caught fire in the early hours of Sunday morning have spoken of "chaotic scenes". A man died trying to escape the top floor fire and eight people are in hospital after a fire ripped through the Bristol tower block yesterday.
Emergency services were called just after 2.15am on Sunday (September 25) to a fire on the top floor of Twinnell House at Wills Drive, Easton. Bristol City Council has said it was working with police and the fire service to investigate the incident.
In a statement the local authority said: "Following the fire at Twinnell House in Easton last night, our thoughts remain with the person who lost their life, and their loved ones. We are working with Avon and Somerset Police and Avon Fire and Rescue Service to investigate what happened, and continue to offer support to all residents."
