A RESTAURANT has suffered smoke and heat damage in a fire which started in a fuse box.
Firefighters were called to Mangetout cafe bistro, in Chichester Road, Southend, at around 2.40am this morning, Monday, where they found a fire which had been burning for some time.
Crews had to wait for EDF Energy to isolate the fuse box externally before they could tackle the flames, which caused smoke and heat damage to much of the restaurant.
They left the scene at around 4.30am.
