Investigation concludes into blaze that ripped through former working men’s club near Chesterfield – with fire too severe to determine cause

The investigation into a blaze that ripped through a former working men’s club outside Chesterfield has concluded – with the severity of the fire making it impossible to determine what caused the building to burst into flames.

A joint investigation by Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service and Derbyshire Police into a fire at a disused building in North Wingfield has concluded – with the cause being indeterminable due to the severity of the fire and unsafe nature of the building.

Emergency services were called to the incident on Chesterfield Road, North Wingfield, at 8.41pm on Thursday, February 12.

Firefighters from Clay Cross, Chesterfield, Alfreton, Bolsover, Ascot Drive, Long Eaton, and Dronfield attended the scene – alongside Derbyshire Police.

Supported by an aerial ladder platform and a command support vehicle, fire crews wearing breathing apparatus used several hose reel jets and main line jets to extinguish the fire.

Nobody was in the property at the time of the fire and no injuries have been reported.

Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service would like to thank local residents for their patience and cooperation whilst emergency services dealt this with this incident.
