Man dies in Wisbech flat fire

The fire was in a ground floor flat in Wisbech

A man has died following a fire at a block of flats.

The blaze broke out in a flat in Wellington Terrace on Churchill Road in Wisbech at about 14:30 GMT on Thursday.

Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service found a man in his 60s in the ground-floor flat and took him outside for treatment, but he died at the scene.

Firefighters prevented the blaze from spreading and an investigation found the cause was accidental, most likely the result of "smoking materials".
