Blaze Breaks Out, Firefighters Battle Fierce Flames
Fire crews rushed to the scene at 1.17pm, deploying three massive turntable ladders and specialist gear. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus stormed inside but were forced out as the inferno rapidly spread, causing serious structural damage.
Herculean Efforts to Stop Fire Spreading
Teams fought hard to control the blaze and prevent it from jumping to nearby businesses. Fire chiefs warned operations will continue for hours as they battle to wrestle the fire under control.
Community Safety First as Cordon Stays Put
