Manchester Firefighter Was 'Loving' Father

The firefighter killed tackling a blaze in Manchester has been remembered as "loving" father who made his family proud.

Father-of-two Stephen Hunt was part of a team responding to a fire at Paul's Hair World in Oldham Street, in Manchester city centre, when he and a colleague got into difficulties last night.

Both were rescued by firefighters and taken to hospital, but the 38-year-old Mr Hunt died.

Stephen Hunt was a father-of-two

His family said in a statement: "It is extremely hard to capture all of what Stephen means to our family.

"Stephen was an old fashioned gentleman with manners that are rare in this day and age. With core values which included loving his family, being the best father that he could be, loving and affectionate to those that were close to him.

"Stephen lived to serve his country having served for 7 years in the Royal Signals and then becoming a firefighter, which was a career that he was very proud of.

"The whole family will miss spending time with Stephen - none more so than his son, daughter and grandmother. We loved his sense of humour and are very proud of him and what he brought to our lives."

Two teenage girls arrested on suspicion of manslaughter have been released on bail. The two girls, both 15, have been bailed until September pending further investigation.

The fire began around 2.50pm on Saturday.

A second firefighter pulled from the blaze remains in hospital but his injuries are not thought to be life threatening.

The fire started in the store room of the shop

Both men got into trouble inside the building at around 8.35pm.

The fire, which started in the store room of the shop, has been particularly difficult to tackle due to the complex layout of the building and the amount of materials inside, a spokeswoman for the fire service said.
