'Inferno' at block of flats in Bedford kills one - with more feared dead

Authorities fear more people may have lost their lives in the blaze on Redwood Grove

Dr Isyaka Mamman, 85, who lied about age admits killing mother in botched procedure at Royal Oldham HospitalBut firefighters investigating the cause of the blaze say their"working assumption is around gas" and they"can't rule out a heating stove or anything of that nature".

"Very sadly, we know that at least one person has passed away in the explosion today," Mr Murphy said. Pictures from the scene showed the three-storey structure on fire, and emergency services warned people to stay indoors and keep their windows and doors closed. "Our building is adjacent to the apartment complex - immediately an inferno visible, huge smoke cloud billowing, people screaming and people frantically calling for emergency services."
