Firefighters were called to the scene at around 8pm on Wednesday, 12th March, and spent several hours tackling the flames. The fire, which broke out at a property in the city, required a significant response, with multiple fire engines and crews working to bring it under control.
The photographs show the full extent of the destruction, with one room completely gutted, its walls blackened and the ceiling collapsed. Other images reveal the remains of furniture and personal items, all destroyed by the intense heat and smoke.
Investigation launched
West Midlands Fire Service has launched an investigation into the cause of the fire. A spokesperson said: “We are working to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident. Our thoughts are with those affected by this devastating fire.”
