A petrol station operator has been fined more than £100,000 after people were found illegally sleeping at the garage without fire precautions.
Lanner Garage ST Forecourt, near Redruth, was inspected by Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service (CFRS) last year. It was discovered people had been sleeping on the premises without necessary safety standards in place.
The company operating the petrol station pleaded guilty to five offences under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. It was fined £100,000, which was reduced from £150,00 due to an early plea accepting responsibility.
