Emergency services rush to Highbridge Hotel after false alarm
Emergency
services from Burnham-On-Sea rushed to the fire-damaged Highbridge
Hotel on Thursday evening (August 7th) after a local resident
spotted smoke rising from the area.
Three
fire engines, a police car and an ambulance were at the rear of
the former hotel - as pictured above - at 10.45pm amid initial
fears that a new blaze had started at the site.
But
the incident turned out to be an apparent false alarm, with one
nearby resident telling Burnham-On-Sea.com the smoke had been
from a nearby bonfire.
In
April this year, Burnham-On-Sea.com was first to report a huge
fire had devastated
the property.
The
building's owner, Derek Mead, is due to hold a meeting after the
summer holidays to discuss his plans for the site.
