Ramsgate: Wow, have you seen the pictures from that fire at K Laundry? It’s pretty shocking. The place was a historic business, and now it’s just a shell.
Firefighters were on the scene for a whopping 31 hours, battling the flames and thick smoke. It was a serious situation, with 12 fire engines rushing to help out.
The images show just how bad the damage is. The fire completely wrecked the main building and the offices attached to it. It’s hard to believe it was once a bustling laundry service.
There was some dramatic footage too, with flames shooting out of the building. But here’s the kicker: they couldn’t even figure out what caused the fire because the damage was so extensive.
They tried to investigate, but the scene was too unstable. They had some ideas about what might have started it, but nothing concrete came out of it.
Police looked into it as well and found no signs of foul play. So, it seems like the investigation is on hold for now, waiting for more info to come in.
K Laundry has been around since 1928, serving the community and local businesses. It’s a real loss for Ramsgate, especially since it was sold just last year.
Originally, they catered to homes, but as washing machines became more common, they shifted to commercial laundry services. They were a go-to for hotels and schools in the area.
