Garage fire at Pill, Newport 'started deliberately' | |
(about 3 hours later) | |
A fire which took nearly 50 firefighters to tackle at a commercial garage site in Newport is thought to have been started deliberately. | |
South Wales Fire and Rescue Service were called to the fire at Coomassie Street in the Pill area of the city at around 06:00 GMT on Friday. | |
The two-storey building was "well alight" with flames seen coming out of the roof. | |
The fire service said it believed the fire had been started deliberately. | |
At the height of the fire, nearby buildings had be sprayed with water to help prevent it from spreading. | |
Crews from Duffryn, Maindee, Malpas, Cwmbran, Aberdare and Caerphilly along with firefighters from Roath, Barry and Cardiff Central stations helped fight the fire. | |
Around three hours later, crews were scaled back. | |
The fire service said it was believed the fire was deliberate but it is still not known how it was started. |
