The family of a 'devoted' father who died in a horror house fire have paid tribute.
Emergency services raced to the blaze at a property in Highters Heath, Birmingham, just before 1.10am on Friday.
Daniel Gardner, 37, was found badly injured and taken to hospital for treatment but tragically died a short time later.

He has been remanded in custody ahead of another hearing today, West Midlands Police said.
