A fire has caused serious damage to a wood factory, but it is believed to be accidental.
The blaze at C & A Webb was attended by around 60 firefighters at around 6:30pm on Tuesday 25th January. 12 fire crews and a hydraulic platform managed to stop the fire spreading to adjacent buildings, but could not save the factory building from severe damage.
Fire service investigators began work swiftly the following day to find the cause of the fire. A spokesman for the fire service said: “Our investigators believe that Tuesday night’s fire in West Bromwich started accidentally because of an electrical issue.”
