Person Found Dead After New Year’s Eve House Fire in Glenboi

Investigators have launched a joint inquiry under a cordon that keeps Aberdare Road closed.

Overview

  • Emergency crews were called shortly before 2am after South Wales Fire and Rescue Service received a 01:39 alert to a well-developed blaze.
  • Police evacuated neighbouring properties and closed nearby roads as firefighters worked to bring the fire under control.
  • The property sustained severe damage with areas of partial structural collapse, making the scene unsafe to examine immediately.
  • Specialist teams, including urban search and rescue and fire investigation officers, remain on site with five water ladders in use.
  • South Wales Police confirmed one person was found dead inside the home, and the cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
