Police remain at the scene of a fire at a home in Norwich - but it remains unclear whether anybody was hurt in the blaze.

Emergency services were called to a fire in a bungalow at Langley Walk, off Old Palace Road in Norwich, on Tuesday (February 2) night.

Fire crews from Earlham, Carrow and Sprowston, were called to tackle the fire at shortly before 9.30pm.

A Norfolk Fire and Rescue spokesman said last night: "Crews wore breathing apparatus and used main jets and hose reel jets to extinguish the fire.

"A thermal imaging camera was used to check for hot spots."

Police later confirmed a man in his 50s had died.

Fire crews had left the scene at 10.40pm last night.
