Hillary's Boat Harbour shops destroyed by fire
A large fire has destroyed six shops at Hillary's Boat Harbour in Perth's northern suburbs.

Up to 45 firefighters contained the blaze, which broke out at the food-hall about 4:00am AWST.

A firefighter has been treated by St John's Ambulance for a minor injury to his eye.

Damage to the complex is estimated to be $1 million.

Fire and Emergency services spokesman Colin Williams says the blaze started in the roof space of one of the restaurants.

"At this stage the fire investigators are looking at it so we're unsure at this stage the exact cause," he said.

Hi Mike
Well paul went out for milk first thing and said he couldnt see anything from the road or carpark , so we thought perhaps it wasnt to bad, until we caught sight of the news god wasnt it alight , it looks like the food hall has been destroyed and the shops around , it was just a glow in the sky and flames shooting everywhere , , so that means british lolly shop has gone:(
But no its sad because i think its lovely down there.

Well we had a walk over this afternoon , and its just gutted the food forum and shops at the far end of the harbour , what a mess. The news has now estimated at $2 million dollars worth of damage. It stopped just at the British lollie shop so its safe . But sadly the rest arent so lucky, no ceilings , no roofs , terrible mess
Joanne

Oh thats a real shame, its beautiful down there, lets hope they rebuild it nicely!:rolleyes:

Thanks for the sad news. That was our favourite place to visit when we stayed at our aunties in North Shore. She has just moved to Mandurah i'm going to send an e-mail to let her know.

Cheers

yeah that is sad news. ive some fond memories of the day i spent there, including seeing a one legged seagull and chatting to this dissabled women for ages...lets hope they rebuild it sooner rather than later.

Someone did not pay the milk money or something? I thought that was just Vilnius!!! 'Insurance' is always necessary in my part of the woorld.
