Swindon DIY store damaged in blaze
A DIY store in Swindon has been damaged after a fire broke out in a backroom on Saturday morning (14th April).
Fire crews were called to Ron's Stores in Rodbourne Road at around 12.35am after a member of the public alerted the emergency services to the incident, reports the Swindon Advertiser.
Officers used six breathing apparatus, three hosereels, a main jet and positive pressure ventilation to bring the blaze under control within around two hours.
An estimated £1,500 worth of stock was destroyed in the fire, while the roof, ceiling and fittings were also damaged in the blaze. Fire doors ensured that flames did not spread to the rest of the store.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, a 'suitable and sufficient' fire risk assessment must be conducted on all commercial properties in England and Wales.
If the fire risk assessment is deemed to be carried out to an insufficient extent, the Responsible Person can face an unlimited fine or a prison sentence of up to two years
