Two pumps and the turntable ladder from Temple Fire Station and
two pumps from Bedminster Fire Station were called to a fire in the
roof of a printing shop.
On approach to the incident crews could see the flames coming
from the roof, which was well alight.
Using two jets and two high pressure hose reels, firefighters
tackled the blaze, but were on scene for some time stripping the
tiles on the roof to ensure the fire was completely
extinguished.
The roof was completely destroyed by the fire with a small
amount of fire and water damage to the rest of the premises.
It’s thought there had been some maintenance work being carried
out on the property earlier that day, which had sparked the fire.
The cause is accidental.
No one was hurt, but the road was closed for some time.
