Model Fish Bar owners respond to fire
The owners of a fish and chip shop devastated by fire have said they will rebuild their business.
Fire crews from 11 locations, as far afield as Lincoln and Wainfleet near Skegness, attended the fire at The Model Fish Bar at 52 Broad Street, Stamford, on Saturday.
Owners of the business Antal Csakvari, 38, and Olivia Fulop, 38, who live in Stamford, posted on social media on behalf of ‘The Model Fish Bar team’ on Sunday.
They said: “We went through some tragic and horrifying days this weekend.
“Firstly no body was hurt in the fire. Which is the main thing.
“We can't thank you enough, our fire brigade, for the quick and professional response. We are extremely pleased for all the hard work by them. And, of course, all help received from the public and the businesses all around us.
“We will start our journey to rebuild The Model Fish Bar and reopen as soon as we can. Hopefully we will be back on our feet soon and will be stronger then ever.
“Once again, thank you for all the help we are getting.”
The fire is understood to have spread from the shop into the roof space of the building and into the basement. However, the results of the fire investigation will not be immediately available.
Number 52 Broad Street is a Grade II* listed building.
