Despite the quick discovery and hard work of around 30 firefighters and six fire engines from Carnoustie,Balmossie,Kingsway and MacAlpine Road (including an aerial pump), the blaze destroyed both the Perfect Laundry and Dry Cleaning Service and the Carnoustie Country Larder greengrocer. The adjoining empty premises,formerly Granite City Fish Ltd.,also suffered significant damage as the fire spread. Adjacent flats were evacuated by the emergency services as a precaution and a massive effort by Tayside Fire and Rescue Services prevented the fire spreading. The stop signal was given at 12.53 a.m. on Saturday morning and at 1.30 a.m. the Carnoustie crew retired. The ariel pump returned on Saturday to assist with investigation work and firefighters continued to look for hotspots and dampdown. The owner of the Perfect laundry and Carnoustie Country Larder,Bill Bowles has vowed to rise from the ashes and plans to reopen in the former Mel’s Pet Shop in the next fortnight,and have things back to normal within six months. Following the fire the OurCarnoustie facebook page has been keeping people up to date with what was happening and the number of comments posted supporting Bill and providing offers of help has shown the community spirit is alive and well in Carnoustie. As a community I’m sure we speak for all of you in wishing Bill and Gwen all the best in rebuilding their businesses and also a hugh thanks should go to the firefighters of Tayside Fire and Rescue Services who tackled one of the biggest fires that Carnoustie has seen for a very long time.
