Tower block residents rescued after fire breaks out

Crews from Temple, Bedminster, Southmead, Kingswood, Patchway and Avonmouth were involved in tackling the fire.

Avon Fire and Rescue Service told the BBC: "The fire has now been extinguished. Firefighters remain on the scene to ventilate the building and ensure the scene is safe."

A spokesperson said the cause of the fire is thought to be accidental and that a number of residents were unable to return home on Tuesday night due to "significant" smoke and water damage.
