FIRE AT SHERFORD
This is a statement from Vistry Cornwall South West regarding today's fire at Sherford:
Overnight, a fire occurred in the communal stairwell of one of the apartment blocks at Sherford. Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service responded quickly and safely evacuated all 28 residents. We are deeply grateful for their swift and professional actions.
The building is owned and managed by Clarion Housing Association, who are supporting those directly affected and leading the on-site response. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
In the meantime, Sherford Community Hub and House of Brews opened their doors early this morning to offer a safe and warm space for residents.
The safety and wellbeing of residents remains our top priority. We will continue to work closely with Clarion and the Fire Service, and will share further updates as they become available.
