Make it dramatic even if it's not. Exaggerate it; put where, what, when, who and why in the first sentence. Then as you get more into it, quote things people have said.
If you were writing about a house fire it could be like: "Tragedy struck Tuesday night, as a chip-pan-fire ripped through the family home of the Barson's."
Who = The Barson's.
What = A fire
When = Tuesday night
Why = Because of the chip pan
Where = The family home
"The blaze struck gutted the kitchen, but luckily no one was hurt.
Mr Barson told *name of the newspaper* "My wife was in the bath, I was cooking dinner for the kids. I ran out of ketchup so just popped to the shop on the corner; before I knew it I could see black smoke pumping out of the house. I ran home as fast as I could as I knew my family were in there, and called 999.""
