Leekes furniture store blaze destroys buildings


A blaze has destroyed two buildings belonging to a furniture store.

Four crews were sent to the fire at the Leekes Llantrisant store, near Talbot Green, Rhondda Cynon Taf, on Friday morning.

A statement from Leekes confirmed that one of its outbuildings was affected by the fire but said the store will be ready to reopen by midday today.

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service has launched a joint investigation, with South Wales Police, into the cause of the fire.

Around 60 firefighters, an aerial ladder platform, three water bowsers and an incident command unit were used to tackle the fire, the fire service confirmed.

South Wales Police, National Grid, Wales & West Utilities and the Salvation Army supported fire crews.

At about 05:00 BST, the fire was brought under control.

Speaking to BBC Radio Wales Breakfast, group store operations director Peter Martin said that two ancillary buildings were “completely destroyed”

He said damage to stock had been very minimal, but staff would be contacting a small number of customers whose orders had been destroyed.
