A fire in a Southampton neighbourhood was likely due to an electrical fault, the fire service said.

Emergency services were called to a terraced house in Milton Road at about 15:10 BST on 29 July.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Services said fire investigation officers inspected the site and found "the most likely cause" of the blaze was an electrical fault.

A man previously arrested has since been released.

The 31-year-old from Southampton was initially arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life. He will face no further action.
