Two arrested in fatal fire probe

Two men have been arrested in connection with a warehouse blaze which killed four firefighters, police said.

A Warwickshire Police spokeswoman said the men, believed to be fire service staff, will be questioned on suspicion of misconduct in a public office.

Six other men were arrested in February and March on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter in connection with the fire, including the father of one of the firefighters who died.

Ashley Stephens, 20, Darren Yates-Badley, 24, John Averis, 27, and Ian Reid, 44, died at a vegetable packing plant blaze in Atherstone-on-Stour, Warwickshire in 2007.
