Major Fire?

Postby Doorstop » Mon Sep 06, 2010 7:51 am

Looks like a bit of a conflagration going off to the South East (of me anyway - around the Kingsway area).

Anyone have the skinny on what's happening?

Your HG on the spot correspondent reports :

It's a fire in a garage, in behind Ibroxholm oval. There have been a couple of explosions, probably due to gas cylinders.

The police have cordoned it off for a four hundred yard or so radius, so I can't be more specific.

Walked right down Fairley Street this morning at the back of 8, the police hadn't cordoned it off at that point. Then on the way home this evening I had to go up from Brand Street through Ibroxholm Oval and on to Edmistion Drive and back down Copland Road just to get home, which is by the Spar!

Major house fire in my street (2 doors up actually) last night.

I did get some photos of blaze and fire crew attendance but I found out this morning that some poor bastard bought the farm (drinker, depressive, previous suicide attempts and heart problems so take your pick as to source of the fire) during the incident.

Doesn't seem right to post the pictures now. :(

Old friend of mine went home from the pub one night - the following lunchtime, I went to the pub and the landlord said his cleaner had found him slumped in the armchair, whisky in one hand, cigarette burnt to the end in the other. Heart attack. It was very quick.

Easy to see how someone could set fire to the house under the circumstances. Very sad. Hope no-one else was hurt.
