Touching floral tributes have been left outside a home where five members of the same family, including three children, died in a horrific fire.

Hounslow residents have identified the members of the household caught in a blaze as Aroen and Seema Kishen.

Flowers brought by well-wishers to the reduced police cordon today (14 November), which still marks off several streets near to the house on Channel Close which went up in flames on Sunday night.

Tributes left by the school of the three children who tragically died in the fire, Springwell School in Hounslow, named them as Arohi, Riyaan and Shanaya.

Scaffolding has been erected outside the home, and plastic sheeting shields by forensics workers as they stand and work on the scaffolding.

Long firework sticks can be seen on the grass outside of homes in the area and in the bins of some houses, from the Diwali festivities.

Residents living nearby said they recognised the boy in the photos circulating of the family, as they had seen him playing on the streets around Channel Close with friends.

Angela Gunning, who lives across the street and saw the fire spread quickly through the house, said it had looked as though three houses were on fire.

Ms Gunning, who has lived in the area for more than 30 years, said: "I was watching it from my upstairs window.

"The fireworks were crazy this year... Worse than any previous year. About 9pm, the sky was full of fireworks.

"But it sounded like explosions coming from the house.

"You couldn't tell from the smoke [what it was] at first, but then you saw the flames coming out the window.

"The immediate neighbours are an elderly couple, so I would imagine they would have been evacuated.

"When I was watching, it looked like three houses were on fire.

"You thought the whole street was going to catch alight."

Met Police and London Fire Brigade have yet to confirm the cause of the fire (credit: SWNS).

Video captured by a CCTV camera outside Ms Gunning's home show the flames quickly spread through the house, whilst fireworks constantly explode in the surrounding skies.

Timea Borni, who lives next-door to Ms Gunning, also watched the fire take hold on Sunday night.

The 30-year-old also said that a woman she knows who lives in a house still behind the police cordon described to her how she saw the father escape the house on his own.

The mother-of-one, originally from Hungary, said: "My husband woke me up because of the fire.

"It started from the front of the house. The fire spread so fast.

"People are saying the fire started from the bin...it's very sad."

She added: "I maybe recognise the boy from playing around here.

"He was about five or six. As a mother, it was horrible.

"I know some of their neighbours. I asked them if it was their home, and they said, 'No, it was our neighbours'.

"They saw the dad running outside, but they didn't see the mum or the kids."

Met Police has said that another person remains unaccounted for, whilst a man left the property before fire crews arrived and was taken to hospital.
