Boat fire causes consternation

A BOAT fire on Birmingham Main Line by the ICC Conference Centre caused consternation on Monday as it was near where the Tory Conference was being held.

It was around 10pm when the blaze was spotted and the fire people were called to the unattended narrowboat, Alan Tilbury tells us.

Two husky dogs

Luckily the fire fighters broke in to find two husky dogs cowering away from the fire, and immediately rescued them and led them away from the boat.

It has been ascertained that the fire caused considerable damage to the boat, with the owners unable to use it and so found alternative accommodation in the city.
