Arson in Atherstone on Stour?

That's awful,

 

I know it's their job and all but those guys are all heroes to risk their lives going into a burning building to rescue people. It makes my blood boil to think that it was started deliberately.

 

In certain areas not far from us the kids think it is fun to set fire to things such as wheelie bins, outhouses, skips etc and then stone the the fire crews with bricks, bottles and petrol bombs when they attend. :evil:

 

What is that about? I think it is time to trim the herd. Scumbags.

With 80 firefighters, they will be from all across the county.

 

It is just 2 miles from us and is opposite my son's friend's house. My son is always being stopped on his way home from his friend's in the early hours - Friday night was no exception :roll:

 

It isn't the sort of area to attract bored teenagers - in that it is very rural :? so it is extremely worrying that it is being regarded as suspicious :?

 

I wonder if there was a communication problem as most of the workers there are Polish or Lithuanian - it would be very easy to indicate that 'Yes, there is someone inside' rather than saying 'Yes, everyone is out'

 

It is also on the same site as a very large hatchery - lots of talk/chat going around in the area..................

It looks as though the fire fighters went inside to look for sleeping immigrant workers, and the great piles of rotting veg were giving off gasses that fuelled the fires.

 

Supermarkets dictating prices and causing cost cutting have been implicated as being part of the cause of the situation.

 

This won't come as a surprise to many.

There are some nasty stories in the press about this today, only time will tell if they are scaremongering. Tales of unfinished sprinkler systems, people sleeping in the warehouse as they work too long a shift (16 hours) to get home, multi millionaire owner, etc etc

 

Martin, the chap you refer to with the baby who is missing has been named by the papers.

 

All so sad :(

Now it's out, I used to go to school with Ashley and Emma but they were in the year above me, so I've known them most of my life. Ashley's brother is also a good friend.

 

The boquets of flowers are increasing outside the fire station and the number of people gathering up to pay respects is quite phenomenal..
