Isle of Wight: The Montrose guest house fire not arson

Guest house blaze not arson

By County Press Reporter - Friday, November 21, 2008
ARSON has been ruled out as the cause of a fire which seriously damaged the roof and first floor of a Shanklin guest house.
Investigations are still ongoing into how flames broke out at The Montrose in the early hours of Tuesday.
No guests were in the building at the time of the blaze, which was mostly contained in the loft area, although a quarter of the roof was destroyed.
