QUICK-THINKING staff at Taurus Crafts had to put their fire training into practice on Friday afternoon after a small kitchen fire broke out.

Only a week before 20 staff, at the Lydney tourist attraction, received their annual refresher course on fire safety.

Manager Elizabeth Ball said: “It’s disappointing the fire broke out but we are proud that we managed to evacuate everybody in the café in a timely manner as per our training. The café was very busy at the time so we are pleased to report nobody was injured and the fire was put out immediately.”
