One person is dead and two others have been taken to hospital with minor injuries after a fire in Gosport Street in Christchurch just after 2am on Friday.
A fire investigator is at the scene, to establish the cause of the fire.
The next door neighbour says she woke to someone yelling 'help' and then an almighty bang.
Gosport Street resident Lois Horwarth spoke moments ago to our reporter Emma Hatton.
