15th April 2002: Fire! While Martin and David Platt slept in the flat above, D & S Hardware Shop in Victoria Street caught fire when the plug on the radio, unwittingly left on with the volume down after the shop's closure, started to smoulder. The scene was discovered by Gail Platt and Richard Hillman, who braved the flames to get David and Martin out before the fire brigade arrived. Father and son soon made a full recovery but the fire was another sting in the tale for Sally Webster, who due to the recent closure of the shop due to debt and lack of trade came under fire from the police for deliberately setting fire to the shop. Fortunately the investigation was soon dropped, and the insurance company paid out. The events would prove to be the catalyst for bringing Sally and Kevin Webster back together.
