Fire destroys flat at The Grange

Fire at The Grange today left a 3rd floor flat destroyed and a young family homeless, nobody was seriously injured, but residents were evacuated from the block and several were treated at the scene for smoke inhalation and shock. The owner who had just gone out to the shops, returned home to find she had lost everything. 

 The blaze broke out just after 2pm, with the fire brigade arriving promptly at the five storey block, but the fire rapidly took hold and gutted the maisonette, nearby homes were also damaged by the smoke and water. Residents found shelter in the TRA hall, until the emergency services allowed them to return home later in the afternoon. 

 LETRA is extremely grateful for the fast actions of the emergency services, their prompt and brave work saved residents in serious danger and the building from far greater damage.
