One person has died after an “inferno” at a block of flats in Bedford following a suspected gas explosion.
Authorities fear more people may have lost their lives in the blaze on Redwood Grove.
Earlier it was announced three people, including a firefighter, had been injured.
Two of them suffered smoke inhalation and were taken to Bedford Hospital South Wing, while a third sustained leg injuries and was airlifted to Addenbrooke’s Hospital.
The firefighter was one of those hurt by smoke inhalation, said the East of England Ambulance Service, as fire teams described the blaze as a “major incident”.
