Family rescued from roof of Bradford flat after fire
Investigations were being carried out today into an early hours fire that forced a family of four to seek refuge on the roof of their flat.
The family – thought to be two adults and two teenagers – climbed onto the roof of the property above a shop on The Parade, Holme Wood, in Bradford, shortly after 4am.
Neighbours and police officers are believed to have helped them to safety before firefighters arrived. The blaze caused significant damage to the flat.
