🔥 Barnstaple CeX Fire Was Deliberately Started, Fire Service Says

Firefighters were called to the High Street after rubbish outside the shop caught fire and the flames spread inside

Two fire engines were called to the store at 30 High Street at around 8.45pm on Sunday, October 4, following reports that rubbish outside the premises was on fire.

When crews arrived, they found the rubbish alight and confirmed that the fire had spread inside the shop.

Firefighters from Barnstaple station tackled the blaze using four breathing apparatus sets and two hose reel jets, while a smoke clearance fan was used to clear the building.

The fire service said the shop suffered 10 per cent fire damage and 100 per cent smoke damage.

The cause of the fire has been recorded as deliberate.

CeX is a retail chain specialising in second-hand technology and entertainment products, including mobile phones, laptops, games consoles and video games.

The incident was recorded as closed by Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service at 3.49am on Monday, October 5.

💬 What do you make of this?

The fire caused significant smoke damage to the shop despite the reported fire damage being limited to 10 per cent.

Suzanne is getting married tomorrow. At 40, she’s a little older, a little wiser, and hoping she’s finally got it right! She is settling down with Gary, an accountant; a reliable man and a sensible choice. Does she have any regrets? Her mother, Eleanor, will be sure to remind her of all her less-than-perfect moments, as they spend an evening in the luxury hotel suite that the lovely Gary has booked as a gift. Her daughter, 18-year-old Laurie is joining them too, with plenty of opinions about Suzanne’s plans and some uncomfortable questions about her past. The three women spend this auspicious evening sharing memories, secrets, and rather a lot of booze…what will be revealed? And what does the waiter make of it all?!

Writer and Comedian Katy Brand dedicates her play to “any woman in pursuit of her own happiness”- a fitting introduction to this warm, funny and painfully honest exploration of three generations of women, which raises the question of what it means to be a woman in the twenty-first century. Recommended for audiences aged 14+.

This amateur production of 3WOMEN is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French, Ltd.

✈️❤️ WOW - what an incredible Opening Night ❤️✈️

A performance that gave goosebumps, actors & musicians that lit up the stage and an audience with everyone on their feet in applause. 👏👏👏
A huge congrats to the cast who were loving it as much as everyone in the audience with the emotionally moving story - Come From Away. Based on a true story of those aboard planes grounding on that fateful day - September 11th 2001 and how a community came together to welcome and support those in need. It is easy to see how this Broadway sensational show swooped awards and it feels incredibly poignant to have it in North Devon this week at the 25th anniversary of 911.

📢 An enormous shout out must also go to those behind the scenes including the director, musical director, choreographer, sound/lightning and tech team. There was so much movement, humour, and the human spirit captured by the mesmerising cast from Barnstaple Musical Comedy & Dramatic Society who all took on multiple roles and sang their ❤️❤️❤️ out including:
✨ Graham Rhuleman
✨ Katy Woodward
✨ Charlotte Cowley
✨ Aaron Hunt
✨ Alfie Taylor
✨ Sam Gurney
✨ Rebecca Edwards
