An investigation into the cause of the fire confirmed that it was accidental due to a fire in a waste fat sump.

The fire is the second to happen in Sentinel Gardens in recent weeks. Firefighters tackled a fire involving wheelie bins at The Rural Charity & Furniture Shop on Saturday 4 January.

Business as usual

Arki’s Fish Bar reopened on Friday, staff have been busy cleaning the premises and it is business as usual.

Staff have thanked Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service for their swift action and all their customers for their concern following the incident.
