Half an hour later, everyone in the block had been accounted for and crew members extinguished the flames.

When the fire was at its highest, five engines - from Elm Lane, Central and Rivelin stations - were at the scene. As well as the three casualties who suffered burns, occupants from neighbouring flats were taken to hospital for precautionary checks.

An investigation to determine the cause is under way.
