Two fire engines from Portishead Fire Station were
called after fire broke out in a commercial premise in the
town.
On arrival crews found a blaze in the ground floor shop which
measured roughly 10 metres by 10 metres.
A total of four firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered
the building and used a hose reel to extinguish the blaze. The fire
is thought to have started accidentally.
A positive pressure ventilation fan was brought in to clear
smoke logging from the property. Firefighters remained on scene for
an hour and a half damping down and cutting away wall panelling to
ensure the fire was fully extinguished.
