Fire bosses issue statement after Derby blaze
Nobody reported suffering any injuries
Fire chiefs have failed to find the cause of a blaze at a block of flats in Derby.
Crews were called to the 12-storey Rivermead House building on Bath Street just after 3.30pm on Wednesday amid reports of a fire on the balcony of a fourth-floor flat.
The flames had spread to a neighbouring balcony.
The building was evacuated and the road was closed as firefighters tackled the blaze - they were at the scene for around five hours.
Nobody reported suffering any injuries in the incident.
On Thursday, a Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: "A joint investigation into the cause of a fire at Rivermead House has concluded.
"There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances at this time - however, the source of the ignition remains inconclusive."
A Derby Homes spokesperson added: "We were on site while emergency services carried out their investigation and spoke to a number of residents to reassure them.
"Should anyone have any concerns, we'd encourage you to speak to us directly."
