POLICE have closed Commercial Road while the fire service visits a building that was damaged by fire last weekend.
The road is closed from the bottom of Poole Hill to Terrace Road in both directions.
It is not yet known when the road will be re-opened.
A family's possessions were destroyed after the blaze in the B-Central accommodation on Saturday.
The fire, which started after a frying pan containing oil ignited, was described by a fire service safety manager as a “very unfortunate accident”.
During the blaze, the windows to the property were blown out, the wall paper crumbled to pieces and sections of the ceiling appear to have fallen through.
The occupant left the flat with his two-year-old daughter after attempts to control the fire with an extinguisher.
After fire alarms sounded, residents safely evacuated the building and no one sustained any injuries.
