MANCHESTER, England — Two teenage girls have been arrested over the death of a fireman in a massive blaze at a hair products warehouse. The fire is thought to have been started by youngsters smoking cigarettes and discarding them.

Former soldier Stephen Hunt, 38, was among 60 firefighters sent to tackle the inferno at Paul’s Hair World in central Manchester. He is thought to have been enveloped in a cloud of ‘super-heat’ caused by steam or chemicals.

He and another fireman were pulled from the building and taken to hospital.
