However, thanks to the quick response and bravery of our local firefighters, the situation was brought under control and no one was injured.
The fire broke out at around 9pm at a popular takeaway on Main Street. It is believed that the deep fat fryer, which was being used to cook some delicious fried chicken, malfunctioned and caught fire. The flames quickly spread, causing panic among the staff and customers.
Fortunately, the fire department was alerted immediately and they arrived at the scene within minutes. The firefighters wasted no time in springing into action, using their specialized equipment and training to tackle the blaze.

The owner of the takeaway, Mr. Patel, expressed his gratitude to the firefighters for their heroic efforts. “I am extremely thankful to the firefighters for their prompt response and for preventing the fire from causing any major damage. We will be closed for a few days to repair the damage, but we will be back in business soon,” he said.
The fire department has also commended the staff at the takeaway for their quick thinking and for following safety protocols, which helped to minimize the damage. They have also reminded the public to always be cautious when using deep fat fryers and to have them regularly inspected to prevent such incidents from occurring.
This incident serves as a reminder of the bravery and dedication of our local firefighters.
