At 08:20 hrs on Sunday 3rd December 2017 Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service received a call from a neighbouring property reporting a house fire at Cricket Meadow, Bridgnorth and they believed the resident was inside the property.
Three fire appliances were mobilised from Bridgnorth, Much Wenlock and Tweedale, along with an Operations Commander and Fire Investigation Officer.
The first crew arrived at 08:26 and could hear smoke detectors operating. Firefighters wearing Breathing Apparatus entered the building and found that the fire had self extinguished, however tragically one person was found deceased within the property.
A joint investigation with West Mercia Police is taking place, however, at this time the fire is not thought to be suspicious.
