Holsworthy fire damages commercial building

Five fire crews involved

Fire crews from around West and North Devon have put out a fire at a commercial building in Holsworthy.

Initially appliances from Holsworthy, Hatherleigh and Torrington, together with an aerial appliance from Barnstaple went to the blaze, which had started in an extraction system, on Wednesday afternoon.

Smoke and flames issuing from the building led to a decision to call for more help from North Tawton and Bideford along with an incident command unit from Ilfracombe.

The fire caused 20 per cent fire damage and 30 per cent smoke damage and was caused accidentally.
