Three people are still missing after a house fire on Boxing Day as police investigations continue to take place.<\/p>\n

Emergency services were called to the fire on Brimscombe Hill in Stroud, Gloucestershire, at about 03:00 GMT on Friday.<\/p>\n

A person was able to get out of the house and was taken to hospital<\/a>, Gloucestershire Police previously said, however no update on their condition has yet been given.<\/p>\n

A cordon near the home was still in place on Saturday, and police said officers are expected to remain in the area for several days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The force has urged people to respect the privacy of those involved “at this unimaginably difficult time”.<\/p>\n

It added the coroner has been informed as “that is standard practice for incidents of this nature”.<\/p>\n

The cause of the fire is not yet known. <\/p>\n

Dr Simon Opher, Labour MP for Stroud, said the fire is “really shocking at Christmas time”.<\/p>\n

“It’s just really tragic for our local community,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I know at these sort of times Stroud really pulls together and supports neighbours, and anyone who knew the people in the house.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
