Three fire crews from Waltham Abbey, Harlow and Hodderston were called to the scene in Dobbs Weir, Naesing, near Waltham Abbey, at 5.40am today. They found 20 per cent of the home well alight.

Due to fears that there were cylinders inside the home, the crews tackled the blaze from the outside.

It has been confirmed that one person died following the incident and a full investigation into the cause of the fire will now be carried out.
