The huge fire that destroyed buildings on and near Mumbles Pier has been ruled as accidental by the fire service. An investigation into the blaze, which reduced a popular restaurant and former nightclub to rubble, has found no evidence to suggest it was caused by a "deliberate or reckless act".
Firefighters spent several hours battling the fire as it swept through a building on the shore-end of the pier on Wednesday, August 31. Flames completely decimated Copperfish restaurant and a huge neighbouring community room known by many locals as the former Cinderella's nightclub.
No-one was injured and remarkably, the amusement arcade, Beach Hut cafe, RNLI base and the pier itself were all unaffected by the blaze. You can get the latest stories from across Swansea sent straight to your inbox for free with our newsletter.
