Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service was called to the property in Upper George Street just after 10:30.

We'll bring you more details on this as we get it.

We've just heard from the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB), which has been trying to work out what happened in the crash where a train derailed near Watford Junction earlier this month.

Two people were treated for injuries after the 06:19 service from Milton Keynes to Euston on 16 September left the tracks at about 07:00 after striking debris from a landslip (pictured). 

The train was clipped by another travelling in the opposite direction, with both coming to rest inside the Hunton Bridge tunnel.

The RAIB has just told us the driver of the derailed train managed to put out an emergency message to warn others.  

The driver of the northbound train received that emergency alert and slowed down from 80mph (129 km/h) to 32mph (51 km/h) before the collision inside the tunnel.

The RAIB, external also said work had been ongoing to strengthen the sides of the cutting prior to the incident, which had not yet reached the location of the landslip.

A full investigation is going to consider why the landslip occurred, the response to the heavy rainfall and what happened between the derailment and the subsequent collision.

A senior member of the Labour Party in the east of England says Jeremy Corbyn needs to take steps to restore relations within the party.

There was a strange sending off for Luton's Danny Hylton in the Hatters 3-1 win over Doncaster at Kenilworth Road. 

Hylton was given a second yellow card in the 95th minute of the game for throwing a litter picker, that had been left by the goal line, towards the side of the pitch.

Luton boss Nathan Jones said: "I'm disappointed with Danny because he showed a lack of discipline.

"I won't say too much as I've told him in the dressing room. He's so far in credit that we'll give him that one, but we've lost him [to suspension] now."
