AN ISLE of Wight country pub is open for business as usual today (Sunday) after a fire knocked out power supplies.
The Blacksmith's Arms between Carisbooke and Calbourne lost its supply after a fault in an electricity pole sparked a fire.
A fire crew from Newport was called out at 8.37 last night and remained there until 10.15pm ensuring the area was safe after extinguishing the fire.
Engineers were called out to repair the cabling and by morning power was restored to the pub and neighbouring properties enabling the Blacksmith's to open for Sunday lunch as usual.
