A house in Manchester Road caught alight around midnight on Sunday 6th November.

Four people - including a 16-month-old baby - are in a serious but stable condition in hospital.

During the initial stages of the fire, a man using an ATM opposite the house ran over and helped a member of the family break down the front door and carry out some of the injured.

He then left the scene as the emergency services arrived.

A baby was among six people who had to be taken to hospital following a 'severe' house fire in Swindon.
