If anyone has any information or cctv. It would be greatly appreciated if you could get in contact with Avon and Somerset Police

(A quick update people have been amazing and have sent me lots of videos and they are all of the same 3 people heading towards and then away from the place the fire was started and all the timings work. I’ve also managed get some names via their own social media. Hopefully they will be getting a knock at the door in the near future)

We are appealing for witnesses and anybody with information following a large fire on the outskirts of Weston-super-Mare.

An investigation has been launched into the cause of a large grass fire near Locking Farm Industrial Estate, which broke out in the early hours of yesterday morning (Tuesday 18 August).

A number of fire crews from across North Somerset and Bristol attended the scene of the fire at around 3am and contained the incident before leaving the scene at around 5.45pm, when the A371 Locking Road was reopened.

Several businesses have been severely impacted by the fire, which engulfed two industrial units.

An investigation into the cause of the fire is in its early stages. Several lines of enquiry are being followed, and a number of high visibility reassurance patrols will be carried out in the coming days, and residents are encouraged to approach officers to discuss any concerns they may have.

We are now appealing to anyone who may have seen people acting suspiciously on or near the A371, or anything unusual in the area, between 2am-3am on Tuesday to come forward.

Neighbourhood Chief Inspector Andy Barry said: “We understand incidents like this are a huge concern locally and nationally following recent incidents during an extended period of hot and dry weather, and an investigation into the full circumstances is in its early stages but appropriate action will be taken against anyone found to have committed criminal offences.”

✅ Anybody who can assist with our investigation is urged to call us on 101 quoting 5226232390 or complete our online appeals form.

✅ You can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers 100 per cent anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via their Anonymous Online Form. No personal details are taken, information cannot be traced or recorded, and you will not go to court nor must speak to police when contacting Crimestoppers.

Well today didn’t go to plan to say the least.

During the early hours of this morning our business unit was completely gutted by fire destroying all of our non day to day equipment including tools, access equipment and stock.

Over the past 20+ years I have invested 10’s of thousands of pounds on all of the equipment we needed to carry out our electrical and building maintenance projects.

Fortunately non of our vans were not in the building at the time and we still have our core tools to enable us to carry on as normal as possible.

There will be some delays due to having to deal with the clean up and admin that comes with something like this.

As a small business and with the current economy and now this we will need to keep pushing forward and taking on and completing as much work as possible to help recoup some of the cost.
So please don’t hold back on calling or emailing to book in your jobs.

The initial investigation suggests the fire was started deliberately in the field next to
Locking Farm Industrial Estate and then spread into the buildings.
If you live or travel near the locking area or have cctv and info please could you forward that on to us or the police.
(Early hours of Tuesday 18/8)

With well above a million pounds worth of damage being done across the site and destroying 8+ units and businesses hopefully this is taken seriously. Time will tell.

In the meantime we go again and keep pushing forward 💪🏼

Many thanks for everyone’s support 

(Ps our unit if the one with no roof.)
