Major fire rips through popular trampoline park leaving owners 'heartbroken'

A popular trampoline park has been gutted after a major fire tore through it last night.

Fire crews have been dealing with a huge fire in Swansea that appeared to start on Sunday night (October 1). Footage shared on social media shows huge flames at a unit on an industrial estate near the city's Fabian Way.

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said it used five appliances, two ladders and a bowser during their four-and-a-half hour operation at the trampoline park. They left at 02.30am this morning and noone was injured, the fire service confirmed.

A statement on the trampoline park's Facebook page says: "We are heartbroken. We will be closed until further notice because of a fire. We will be in touch with all future bookings when we can but please bear with us." Locals have taken to social media to share messages of support. One post read: "Great place that my daughter loves. Hopefully you can rebuild bigger and better."
