Emmerdale: Cain and Moira trapped in barn fire
Caused by Moira, the barn fire took hold earlier this week. During a showdown in the barn with Ruby, Moira padlocked the barn shut.

She later fired a warning shot from her shotgun. But unbeknown to her, the gun shot created a spark, which went on to form a fully fledged fire.

Moira hit Ruby over the head and she was out cold as the fire took hold around her. Moira, who has had some health struggles of late, watched on confused.

After spotting smoke, Mack and John rushed to the scene, with John creating a hole in the barn to crawl through.

John rescued Ruby before Cain, Caleb and Chas arrived on the scene. Despite protests from Chas, Cain rushed into the barn to save his wife.

As Cain and Moira struggled to make their way out, an explosion ripped through the barn – putting all their lives at risk.
