A fundraiser has been set up to help support staff after a warehouse was destroyed by a huge industrial fire in Mansfield. Up to 100 firefighters were on the scene at one point after the blaze started at Savanna Rags clothes warehouse at 3.44pm on Saturday, March 18.
The blaze in Forest Road caused clouds of black smoke that could be seen for miles around. Nearby properties in Nottingham Road, Forest Road and Sandhurst Avenue were evacuated just after 4pm.
In an update, Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue said the clean-up operation had begun on Monday, March 20. Elsewhere, a GoFundMe page has been set up for the people who work for the business, which recycles clothes and exports them to countries around the world.
