Man’s wife ‘in labour’ as fire rages on
A man says his wife is currently in labour with their third child and was inside the hospital’s maternity unit when the fire broke out.
Matt Burden, from Weston-super-Mare, told the BBC he was “really eager to get back” to her.
“I went out to get some food, came back and obviously the alarm went off,” he said. “They said all partners had to leave. Everyone was going down the fire exit quite fast. When we came out I saw black smoke, all up in flames.”
