The fire at Falmouth Beach Resort Hotel, Falmouth, 3oth April 2012.


A major fire has destroyed a seafront hotel in Cornwall. More than 100 firefighters tackled the blaze at the Best Western Falmouth Beach Hotel, at Gyllyngvase in Falmouth which started just after 12:00 BST. Staff and guests, including Blur guitarist Graham Coxon, were moved to safety and a neighbouring hotel was evacuated. Strong winds fanned the flames, allowing the fire to spread and causing the roof to collapse. No-one was hurt. Three guests are unaccounted for, but it is believed they were on day trips and not in the hotel when the fire started. - 30th Feb 2012
