Fortunately, by the time firefighters arrived at the property, the fire was already out. Crews were able to use ventilation fans to clear smoke from the affected flat before leaving.
In 2005, Harrow Court was the scene of the devastating fire that tragically killed two firefighters, Jeff Wornham and Michael Miller, and a resident, Natalie Close.
