Derbyshire health club and spa evacuated after electric fault in sauna starts fire
A fire investigation has revealed the cause of a fire which saw Health Club and Spa in Long Eaton evacuated.
Emergency services were called to reports of fire at Clifford Health Club and Spa in Regent Street in Long Eaton at 8.16 am on Saturday, January 17.
Five fire engines and an aerial ladder platform were deployed to the scene.
Everyone was evacuated from the building before arrival of the fire crews and no injuries were reported.
An investigation into the cause of a fire was conducted and has now concluded that ‘the most likely’ cause of fire was an electrical fault in the sauna.
Speaking about the incident, Group Manager David Diggins said: “Several fire crews attended the scene of a fire in a ground floor sauna, working hard to contain the fire and prevent its spread.
“Thankfully no one was injured. An onsite trained and responsible person had instigated the safe evacuation and roll call of everyone in the club before the arrival of fire crews.”
