They've got a patrolled police cordon taped out on a wide radius, no getting in there!

All coppers are bent ... offer them a packet of sparklers and they'll help you dig through the ashes.

First clue something wasn't right was when I couldn't clean my teeth this morning because the water pressure was so low - all the fire appliances were draining the supply.

Looks like someone captured the moment the fireworks caught:

There were quite a few businesses tucked into that area, a flower shop and the fireworks shop as a pair, a carwash company just behind it and a delicatessen right next door.  Feel sorry for them, definitely not what they needed or expected.

Aww a ittle brush...

Man up and use a pressure washer like we do in Southampton ;)
