Smoke and fire damage on the way now it’s summer

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

The Eastbourne Herald reports the summer’s first bank holiday arson attack in Eastbourne.

“Residents had to be evacuated after arsonists set fire to part of a building in Seaside Road on Bank Holiday Monday night. Firefighters were called to the empty shop, formerly a bookmakers, after somebody deliberately set a window frame on the ground floor alight. A member of the public raised the alarm and firefighters from Eastbourne rushed to the scene. They said smoke spread rapidly and although the shop was empty, residents in flats upstairs were evacuated as a safety precaution.”

Once again, it was the smoke that caused most of the damage. When the Freeholders come to claim, they need to be aware of their rights and responsibilities – and would benefit greatly from talking to Truman Associates to handle any business insurance claim on their behalf.
