This was sadly a fire at ragbags a work ware clothing recycling facility. The fire started within a container of recently received clothing and quickly spread to an ajoining car workshop causing extensive damage. 4 fire engines were in attendance and their brave efoorts brought the fire under control very quickly with no injuries. Please spare a thought for the people affected and the potential loss of livelyhoods, especially within the current gloomy economic climate. I hope they can all restore their buisnesses back to former levels regards doug harwood (Dougs VW Werks dappers lane)
Thank you Doug for that update. Most importantly, no one was injured. I was concerned when I saw the ambulance going there after the fire engines, so that at least is good news.
This is a time when other local business's will hopefully rally round if needed to help the affected ones recover as quickly as possible.
I have no idea what we can do to help at this time, but would be more than happy to help with anything we can if possible. Please keep us posted.
