FIREFIGHTERS have released pictures of damage caused by a fire at a pub in Lustleigh.

The pictures have been posted on Bovey Tracey Fire Station’s Facebook page.

They show the aftermath of Sunday’s [October 19] fire at the Cleave Inn.

Crew from nine stations, including Ashburton, Bovey Tracey, Buckfastleigh, Newton Abbot, Chagford and Moretonhampstead were involved.

A fire was reported in the pub’s storeroom a little after 2am.

Firefighters extinguished the fire using hose reel jets, breathing apparatus and foam jets to protect a neighbouring thatched roof.

The storeroom was ‘severely damaged’ by fire, Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said.
