FIRE CREWS from Herefordshire have been at the scene of a devastating fire in Abergavenny, which has ripped through a building. 

Last night (November 10) police and fire crews were called to Frogmore Street after receiving a report of a fire at the back of the Magic Cottage charity shop at around 8.35 pm.

The fire has caused extensive damage to the building causing a collapse to the first and second floors, and roof of the building, and crews working arduously to prevent further spread to neighbouring properties. A number of nearby properties were evacuated, however, there are no reports of any injuries.
