Totton
Road closed after a catastrophic fire incident in Totton this morning
FISH and animals made it out of the Hampshire pet store fire that tore through the party.
At the Creature Comforts store on Ringwood Road in Totton, smoke was observed emerging from a tiny area that contained electrical equipment. This prompted the dispatch of fire crews.
Smoke spread to other portions of the building, although it wasn’t a big fire’, a Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman stated.
Workers using respirators went inside the store and utilised a huge fan to drive the smoke outside.
According to Richard Searley, the manager, “We’ve got thousands of fish, plus hamsters, rabbits, and reptiles, but they’re all OK.”
For a brief period, the road outside the store was closed as Redbridge, Eastleigh, and St. Mary’s fire departments handled the situation.
The cause of the fire is being looked examined, although nothing unusual is believed to have happened.
Following an attack in Southampton early this morning (Friday), a man died. Two Totton males have been detained on suspicion of murder.
The victim, a Fareham resident in his 40s, reportedly experienced a cardiac arrest at the intersection of Oxford Street and Bernard Street, prompting the activation of the alarm around 12:40 a.m.
Police discovered he had been in an altercation upon their arrival.
He was declared dead at the site despite the paramedics’ best efforts to save his life.
Two people, one aged 35 and the other 60, are still being held after being detained during investigation.
DCI Adam Edwards, the investigating officer, stated that while officers are still in the Oxford Street area today, the inquiries are still in the early stages.
The man’s family has been informed and is receiving support from the police, DCI Edwards said. “We are looking to speak with any witnesses today; if you have any information which could assist our investigation, however small it may seem to you, then please get in touch and share this with us.
” Supt Phil Lamb, the city commander of Southampton, continued, “I will have officers from our local neighbourhood policing teams in the Oxford Street area. If you have any concerns then please do speak with them. I know this will be upsetting news to the local community, and our thoughts are with the man’s family at this time.”

Following a collision between a Peugeot and an HGV on a busy route just outside of Totton, a 51-year-old man has passed away.
At 3:16 a.m., police officers raced to the scene of an accident between a silver Peugeot 107 and a lorry on the A326 near the intersection with Monkton Lane.
For around twelve hours, the road between Fletchwood Road and A35 Hunters Hill was closed in both directions.
The man, a 51-year-old Christchurch resident, who was operating the vehicle, was declared deceased on the spot. Now, his family has been notified.
Around 3:15 p.m., the section of the road between Fletchwood Road and A35 Hunters Hill was reopened.
Police investigating the incident are currently seeking to speak with anyone who witnessed the silver Peugeot, which has a registration plate ending in JHZ, in the early hours of this morning or anyone was passing through the area at around 3.15am, as part of their investigation.
According to a police spokeswoman: “We are specifically requesting that anyone living in the Totton and New Milton areas check any CCTV, dash cam or Ring doorbell footage for any reports of seeing a car that fits this description.
“If you have any information, please call 101 and mention reference 44240247966. As an alternative, you can submit information online.”
