The blaze, on Main Street, began on Friday 22 November at 4.33pm and involved a frying range inside the ground floor shop.

The flames quickly spread to a first floor flat, causing damage by fire to a bedroom floor and smoke damage to the remainder of a flat.

Amid fears of an explosion and to ensure safety, firefighters threw a taped-off cordon around the scene when a gas pipe fractured during fire, and gas and electricity supplies were isolated.
