Images show the truly devastating impact of a fire that ripped through a boatyard at Bristol Harbourside in the early hours of this morning (Saturday, May 6). Residents and their pets were evacuated from their homes on both land and water by emergency services as fire crews tackled the blaze.
The fire is said to have happened at the Underfall boat yard in the harbour at around 12.42am this morning (May 6). Fire crews from Avon and Bath Fire and Rescue were at the scene and it is reported the fire was extinguished at around 7am.
Fire crews remained at the scene for several hours as the site was dampened down, while a number of events scheduled to take place in the city centre this morning were cancelled.
