One person has been killed and another is missing after a fire broke out in a flat on Union Street in Plymouth.
Devon & Somerset Fire Service crews were called to the scene at around 02:00 hours GMT.
3 people were rescued, and 35 more were evacuated from the building.
From what I could see as I passed by the scene this morning, the fire damage was limited to the top floor flat where the fire broke out.
Other flats in the building looked to have escaped any noticeable damage.
BBC News has more on the story. Edgcumbe Road, and Union Street all the way down to the Octagon, have been blocked by Police, and no traffic is currently being allowed in that area. Other routes around the effected area are available. Devon & Cornwall Police are also on the scene, and an investigation will begin soon. Plymouth Herald also have more, including an eyewitness video.
