70 firefighters tackle fire at waterfront apartments
A luxury waterside property has been destroyed in a fire in a Devon village.
Over 70 firefighters from across South Devon tackled the fire from boats, neighbouring houses and cliff edges in an attempt to bring the fire under control.
Eight units from Salcombe, Kingsbridge and Modbury, Totnes, Dartmouth, Ivybridge and Plympton along with an incident command unit and support engine from Totnes all attended the incident which broke out at 7.30am on 24th April.
The property is divided into 3 apartments and one is used as a holiday rental and was being used by 2 families with 6 children at the time of the fire. All residents escaped the fire unhurt.
Paul Chambers from the fire service said: “Access to the property was very difficult. It is right on the edge of the water and people next door are having some building work done so we had restricted access because of the scaffolding. The weather was very hot and it did take its toll on the crews. We got the call at 7.30am and we were there until mid afternoon. At least no one was hurt in the incident.”
It is not yet known how the fire started.
Historic thatched cottages damaged in fire
A row of thatched cottages in Norfolk that date back to the 18th century have been damaged in a blaze.
More than 50 firefighters attended the fire and several families had to be evacuated from their homes. The listed buildings are said to be England’s longest single row of thatched cottages.
The cottages in Weeting near Brandon were also damaged in a fire in 2007.
An investigation is now being carried out to determine the cause of the fire.
