Firefighters tackle Southend fire
5:24pm Thursday 21st March 2013 in Echo News
Fire crews in Cichester Road
FIREFIGHTERS were called a blaze on the 11th floor of a tower of flats after a boiler exploded.
The top of Chichester Road was closed off at rush hour last night and 35 firefighters were scrambled to the block of flats at about 4.50pm.
It is understood that a boiler explosion caused the fire, but there were no injuries and the fire was quelled by 5.30pm.
Peter Bennett, the fire officer in charge at the scene, said: “People will question why we’ve got so many engines down here and have closed the road and a bus route, but there was a real potential for disaster here."
He added that nobody had to be evacuated from the tower of flats.

I work in a residential unit that specialises in forensic mental health.
I have taken the time to study your input in the comments on this site and I have carefully worked out what kind of person you are and how you can be best helped... I may be seeing you in a professional setting in the 'not so distant future'.
until then.. enjoy the ride to the bottom.

jayman's monkeys or quantock junkies?
I don't work with drug addicts or active criminals.
I also refuse to work with right wing trash. To which end you are not as yet 'stable' enough to enjoy the highly professional and excellent care that I pride myself on providing to people who are turning their lives around...

the term 'personality disorder' relates to scores of individual disorders.
Asbo is a contender for 'Narcissistic personality disorder' Google it to find out what I mean...

Addicts of different substances also may be "disadvantaged", but I was thinking far wider, to those who may suffer from disabilities, from ill health, from being deprived in some way, or the subject of sexual or racial abuse. There are many in our town who need help and are missing out on material or social welfare through no fault of their own.
As a leaseholder, I paid the market rate for my flat. I do not agree with you that I live in a "ghetto", but I believe many in our country are suffering from the lack of suitable housing. Rents and house prices are too high for the average family in most parts of the country. In Southend there are over 6,000 people on the housing waiting list. Demolishing usable homes is, I think, the last thing you should be suggesting.
Making yourself a spokesman for the bigots and the stupid does not help the situation, which is why you are too embarrassed to use your real name?
