The blaze, reported around 2 a.m. on Banas Way, claimed the lives of two adults and sent four others – including a child – to hospital with critical injuries.
Firefighters faced an inferno of immense proportions, battling a two-alarm blaze that consumed the semi-detached home with frightening speed and intensity.
The sheer volume of fire hampered rescue efforts, preventing crews from immediately accessing the building and fully assessing the situation.
Adding to the anguish, authorities confirmed that several individuals remain unaccounted for, their whereabouts currently unknown as the search continues.
