A pub manager has thanked an electrical engineer who had them open for business in short order following a fire.
Orange Fox Electrical helped out The Rose and Crown, in Harpley, after a fire on its porch left them without electricity.
The pub, between Fakenham and King’s Lynn, suffered damage to its porch area on June 13, after a tumble dryer caught fire overnight.
It was one of three tumble dryers causing fires across Norfolk in June.
The fire destroyed the washing machine and dryer, along with a fridge with bottles of champagne in and cleaning equipment.
It also burnt out the pub's distribution board, cutting off power across the building.
