INVESTIGATORS have ruled that an explosion and fire at a flat in Burntwood was an accident.
Specialist police and fire teams have been working at the property at Swan Island following the blast at 9.10pm on 28th October.
The two-storey flat had suffered major damage following what was described as an “internal explosion”.
A Staffordshire Police spokesperson said:
“The explosion and subsequent fire at a flat in Burntwood has been deemed accidental by fire investigators.”
A man in his 20s who suffered serious burns remains in a critical condition in hospital.
A fundraiser set up for him has now seen almost £3,000 in donations.
