A four-year-old girl is fighting for her life after a house fire in Swindon.

Emergency services were called to the blaze at a property in Queens Drive in the early hours of Saturday morning (16 August).

The home was home to a family of five, a mum and dad with three daughters.

All occupants went to hospital, but four-year-old Evy remains in hospital on life support.

Much of the building and their possessions were damaged by either fire or smoke.

A fundraiser has been set up to help the family. Make a donation on GoFundMe >

Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said the fire was accidental.

A spokesperson added: “We were called to Queens Drive, Swindon at 5.38am yesterday (16 August) for a fire in a terraced property.

“Three crews attended, from Swindon, Stratton and Westlea; four occupants had escaped the house before we arrived, and a child was rescued. All five were taken to hospital.

“The fire started accidentally in the ground floor living room, with six breathing apparatus wearers using three jets to extinguish it.

“Mechanical ventilation was used to clear the smoke. The stop was at 8am.”
