In a major breakthrough in the investigation into the fire that destroyed Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher’s dream farmhouse, police have reportedly retrieved security footage from a nearby property — and what they saw within seconds has left everyone stunned.
According to inside sources, the neighbor’s outdoor camera captured the moment the blaze first began. Investigators said that by the 3rd second of the footage, something unexpected appeared — a flash of light and sudden spark near the left side of the farmhouse, right where the power supply line entered the building.
Authorities now believe the fire may have been triggered by a sudden electrical surge or a malfunctioning outdoor unit, though forensic experts are still analyzing the footage frame by frame. “It’s too early to make conclusions,” said one police spokesperson, “but this recording has given us a completely new angle on the case.”
Fletcher and his wife Liz were away with their four children when the fire broke out, leaving their countryside home — the setting of their popular TV series Fletcher’s Family Farm — in ashes. While the family has thanked fans for their support, they have not yet commented on the new development.
As investigators continue to piece together the final moments before the blaze, one thing is certain — this footage could finally reveal what really happened that night.
