Bristol: So, there was this crazy situation in the city last night. A fire broke out around midnight, and it was serious enough that people had to be evacuated from their homes. Can you imagine waking up in the middle of the night and being told to leave? That’s exactly what happened on Marlborough Street.
The fire started with a big pile of rubbish catching fire, and it put nearby residents at risk. Fire crews from all over Bristol rushed to the scene after getting the call at 12:02 AM. They found the rubbish ablaze and quickly got to work.
Firefighters from places like Temple and Southmead showed up to tackle the flames. They used high-pressure hoses and even thermal imaging to make sure the fire didn’t spread. It’s a bit scary to think about, but thankfully, everyone was evacuated safely.
Right now, the cause of the fire is still under investigation. The fire service is looking into what happened, but it’s a relief that no one was hurt. Just another wild night in Bristol, I guess!
