A couple who saw the decking of their "much-loved" pub go up in flames have said the community's kindness is helping their business to "rise from the ashes".
Crews from Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS) were called to Dee View Road in Heswall in the early hours of the morning on Monday, July 18. When fire crews arrived at the scene at 2.47am they found a van in the car park of the Dee View Inn "well alight", along with a large area of decking and fencing.
Videos shared with the ECHO by a resident who lives opposite the garden of the pub show huge plumes of smoke, orange flames and flashing lights from fire engines. A photo of the aftermath of the scene shows a white van completely damaged by the fire, part of the decking destroyed and pub benches and chairs also broken.
