Berwick Garden Centre re-opens after blaze


Storage sheds at Berwick Garden Centre were badly damaged by fire on Thursday evening but the store still managed to open as normal on Friday morning...

The blaze was reported at 5.45pm, shortly after the centre had closed for the day.

Eighteen firefighters from Berwick and Belford attended and used two hose reels and a jet to douse the flames.

No-one was injured in the fire, which was contained to the storage area at the rear of the premises.

Investigations are being carried out but it is not being treated as suspicious at this stage.

A spokeswoman told GTN Xtra that fortunately wasn't major and that the centre had been able to open as usual the following morning.

The picture was taken by John Peters from Eyemouth.
