Kitchen fire in two-storey detached house

Frensham Drive, Bletchley.

One appliance and crew from Bletchley, two from Great Holm, one from Broughton and three officers attended. Firefighters used one hose reel, two sets of breathing apparatus, a fan and a thermal imaging camera, and rescued a woman who sadly was later pronounced dead.

Note: Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service was not immediately able to confirm that there had been a fatality. It has to wait until Thames Valley Police have informed next of kin and completed their initial investigations into a death before releasing this information to the public. It's one of the ways the emergency services show their respect to people who have lost their lives. Our thoughts are with family, friends and the local community.
