BAPTIST CHURCH FIRE

 

Fire broke out in the Baptist Church, Shute Road, Kilmington in the early hours of Thursday, 5 March.  No-one was hurt but the church roof was badly burnt as the photos show. There were approximately 6 fire engines & 2 support vessels & 40 fire-fighters at any one time. The fire is now basically out but the damage is extensive. Lucy Holmes took these photos from their house window (the Manse) after calling the fire services. They were awoken by popping sounds & there was some electrical arching activity. The fire then quickly spread.
