K&K Hand Car Wash after the fire
A CAR wash firm has been devastated by fire.
A blaze tore through K&K Hand Car Wash’s premises, on the A167 near Croxdale, County Durham, late on Thursday night (May 22).
The emergency services were alerted to the fire shortly before 11.30pm.
Four fire engines were rushed to the scene and Durham fire brigade deployed two hose reels, breathing apparatus, an aerial ladder platform and its environmental protection unit.
The fire, in an 800sq metre single-storey building, was brought under control in the early hours of Friday morning.
A Durham Police spokeswoman said the building had virtually collapsed and was unsafe to enter.
The police and fire brigade have launched a joint investigation into the cause of the blaze.
