    Fire at popular Exeter nightspot

    A fire has broken out in a popular Exeter city centre nightspot.

    Emergency crews received a call at around 10.00pm that smoke was coming out of a commercial building in Exeter's Queen Street.

    On arrival, firefighters discovered than a blaze had broken out in the basement of the Cavern Club.

    Crews took more than 4 hours to tackle the fire which they say started accidentally.

    Dozens of people took to twitter and social media last night upset and concerned about the incident and a crowdfunding page has already been set up by fans of the alternative club and bar.

    It's hoped it will help raise more than £2,000 for a refurbishment following the fire.
