17TH JUNE 2010 – FIRE DESTROYS STORAGE CONTAINER & 95% OF CONTENTS
A fire that was lit outside the storage container at the nortern end sometime early on Thursday morning the 17th June was so intense it ignited cardboard boxes inside the container that had footballs inside. It soon spread to other items inside before a passer by reported smoke coming from the air vents. On inspection once the doors were opened combustion took over and the fire took over.
It took the Rural Fire Brigade 25 minutes before they were on site and by then the damage had been done. What wasn’t destroyed by fire was destroyed by smoke and water.
This is where it all started. Whoever the aronist’s where started a mini “bomb” fire gainst the Northern End on the container. The heat was so bad that it had catasrophic results
Some of the end result, remnents of burnt footballs, shirts and anythiny else that was inside
Can they be saved? Burnt & water logged kit bags that contained playing strips
Nearly 2 tonnes of damaged equipment had to be disposed of
Once full of life and chock full of equipment and club records, this picture tells the TRUE story
