A LARGE fire has destroyed part of a derelict commercial property in Christchurch.

The incident occurred on Tuesday, February 1, when crews from Christchurch Fire Station were called at 6.28pm to a fire at a property in Bridge Street.

Crews from Springbourne and Redhill also attended the scene in which six breathing apparatus were used, as well as two hose reel jets and one main line to extinguish the fire.

The call to stop came at 7.44pm and no injuries were reported.

The Daily Echo has asked Dorset Fire for a more exact location, but they described the property as derelict and unused.
