"This included smoke alarms, door security, CCTV and fire safety advice and training. 

“Many residents have paid tribute to the emergency services who attended the scene immediately and other members of the community who helped out. 

"Kate & Jay, residents of Cromer Court are looking for a very helpful lady called Emma, who they feel went above and beyond to help them that morning.
