Fire at my neighbourhood

From the comments I overheard either one or two people have died in a fire on the block beside mine. One of them was on a wheelchair. Also their dog.

They certainly capture the somberness (i think that's a word) of the accident.

Nope. Didnt cross my mind to be honest. Their own photographers were all there anyway. Gibraltar is a small place and they got there within minutes.

A man was found dead in a fire last night after the fire broke out at Harbour Views.

Fire engines raced to Melbourne House responding to a call. The body was discovered on the sixth floor.

The man was an elderly person in a wheelchair. The flat has been sealed for scene-of-crime investigation.

People in two neighbouring flats had to be rehoused due to the smoke.

At about 10pm, the fire engines were withdrawing from the scene of the fire which lasted for over 2 hours.

The coroner has been informed. A post-mortem is being held today.
