An extraction fan that 'blew up' caused sourdough pizza company Pizzarova's Park Street branch to close this evening (December 9). It is sadly the third fire this year for the popular Bristol chain.
The incident happened mid-service, meaning many diners had to quickly evacuate from the premises in order to allow access to Avon Fire and Rescue Service to tackle the blaze.
Firefighters equipped with breathing apparatus were seen spraying the flames from hose reels on Park Street throughout their successful attempt to extinguish the fire.
