Mother and three children die in house fire

The emergency services in large numbers raced to a residential area after reports of a house fire with persons reported.
One witness said he saw at least 15 police vehicles, about six ambulances and at least four or five fire engines rushing to the street.
Another spoke of Smoke billowing out of the house. And there being a bad smell. It smelled like burned rubber.
Speaking at the scene, Superintendent Lucy Leadbeater, of Bradford district police, said: “Shortly after 2am this morning, officers were called to a report of a house fire on Westbury Road in Bradford.
“On officers' arrival, it was confirmed that a 29-year-old woman named Bryonie Gawith had died at the scene.
"Her three children, nine-year-old Denisty Birtle, five-year-old Oscar Birtle and 22-month-old Aubree Birtle, were taken to hospital where sadly all three died from their injuries.
“Detectives from our Homicide and Major Enquiry Team have launched a murder investigation into the fire."
West Yorkshire Police said the incident was domestic-related.
They said a 39-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is currently in a critical condition in hospital.
“Specially trained officers are supporting the family, and my neighbourhood officers are in the area carrying out reassurance patrols," said Supt Leadbeater.
“I would appeal to anyone who was in the Westbury Road area at the time of the incident or who has CCTV or doorbell footage to come forward.
“Anyone with information that could help our investigation, I would urge you to contact us via 101, quoting log 107 of August 21.
“Information can always be given anonymously via the independent Crimestoppers charity.
“Our thoughts are with the family, their friends and the wider community at this sad time.”
