Evacuees are beginning to return home after being forced out their houses during a major fire at Falmouth Docks.
With the flames now out, Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service has carried out a risk assessment of the situation and has said the properties still within the exclusion zone are 1 Tredynas Road, 1-2 Pendennis Rise, 19 – 28 Pendennis Rise and Martime Studios (student accommodation).
All other properties are now accessible.
Cornwall Council has set up an emergency contact number, 0800 7 313247 for anyone needing advice.
The council’s emergency management service has set up a rest centre at the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Melvill Road Falmouth and that facility is now open to receive anyone who needs help. A review of whether the centre is still needed will be carried out reviewed over the course of the evening. If it is no longer required, alternative measures will be put in place and details will be available via the emergency contact number.
