Café hit by fire

Friday 26 December
14:27 Oxford Street, Weston-super-Mare

Crews from Weston-super-Mare and Winscombe were called to the Café Plaza to reports of a fire in the premises.

The fire, which had started in the kitchen area, was quickly extinguished by six firefighters wearing breathing apparatus. They used three high pressure hose reels and two Co2 extinguishers to put the fire out.

A thorough search of the flats above the cafe was made and no one was found to be inside.

A positive pressure ventilation fan was used to clear the smoke.
