Fire in Chapel St. Leonards, help needed.

For all of you that like to frequent Chapel St. Leonards, there has been a severe fire at the Ginghams Fish & Chip Shop & Restaurant on Trunch lane.

Nobody was hurt but the chippy has been totally wiped out and fire damage to the Restaurant.

One of the fryers caught fire and got out of control too quickly.

The lady and her children that lives above the chippy was fortunate enough not to lose her property this time around, she suffered a total loss of possessions last season when she was living in the hotel that caught fire in Ingoldmells.

Her flat is suffering from smoke damage though, she was also a staff member of the Chippy/Resteraunt below and has now lost her job.

She's spent a year recouping her losses from the last fire and now has to replace carpets, and pretty much everything else that is going to stink from the fire.

I know folks were generous the last time round but this family could use your help again, there are children involved here, they could do with your help.

Please donate generously.

Isn't the flat rented? They shouldn't have to pay those costs.

Either way the insurance company for the Fish and Chip shop will cover the cost of any damages they incurred.
