The Savana Rags site is located at the back of the garden, with one of the buildings only a few feet away from their garden fence.Sue said: "It started more or less at the bottom of our garden about quarter to four and then the police came a bit later and asked us to get out.
"The firefighters and the police, we can't thank them enough. I don't think there would have been a row of houses her if it wasn't for them." Speaking of the aftermath, Sue stated that the only damage they had was some burnt holes in a bench cover and are amazed everything is still standing. "There were officers that came round and told us to not to touch it and said the council people would come clean it. It's horrendous.
