Butlers barn is still ablaze in Emmerdale spoilers

1. The terror continues at Butlers

A deadly blaze has ripped through the barn at Butlers, putting numerous lives at risk. The fire began during a showdown between Moira Dingle and Ruby Fox-Miligan.

Moira is in the grips of a health crisis, even though no one knows what’s wrong with her. But don’t get us started on that one.

When Ruby confronted Moira at Butlers she started to hear the voice of her old nemesis, Emma Barton. Freaked out, Moira fired her shotgun and hit a lightbulb, which caused a fire to ignite.

Moira and Ruby were trapped as the barn went up in flames. Mack and John rushed to the rescue and risked their own lives by entering the burning building. Cain and Chas were next to arrive at the scene along with Caleb and Will.

After John and Mack dragged Ruby out, Cain ran into the barn to save his wife. But then the whole place exploded and they hadn’t got out. As devastated Chas screams for her brother, will he and Moira survive the blast or is that the end for them?
