:00:52. > :00:55.Cornwall. A fire investigation team has been trying to find out what
:00:55. > :01:02.started the blaze. It caused thousands of pounds of damage in

:01:10. > :01:13.One in the daylight it is easy to see why this fire was so difficult
:01:13. > :01:18.to tackle. The cottages are so close together at the fire spread
:01:18. > :01:22.quickly. Today investigators have been inside with surveyors to see
:01:22. > :01:26.if it is safe for residents to go back and collect what belongings
:01:26. > :01:30.remain. Tricky to access and quick moving,
:01:30. > :01:35.it is thought the fire started near a domestic oil tank and as the fuel
:01:35. > :01:40.ruptured out of the tank the flames followed. Smoke could be seen for
:01:40. > :01:46.miles around. And the initial stages it is about

:01:59. > :02:08.of the property as we could and I am pleased to say we managed to get
:02:08. > :02:13.a hold of this one very quickly. J G C a delay there was this huge
:02:13. > :02:18.college -- call fire. Really frightening. How quickly did
:02:18. > :02:23.it spread? It was incredibly quick. The burning oil must have added to
:02:23. > :02:28.the speed of it spreading. No one was hurt, but several were
:02:28. > :02:30.evacuated as the fire spread. Why a snake and have lots of phone
:02:30. > :02:34.calls, people forming the pub asking if there was anything they
:02:34. > :02:43.could do. They were offering accommodation, just to see if there
:02:43. > :02:47.was anything that they could do. The family with two young children,
:02:47. > :02:53.they lost all their clothes, so my daughter went on for his book and
:02:53. > :02:57.said, if anyone had children's clothes could they help them out?
:02:57. > :03:02.The investigators have not reported findings yet, but the inquiry is
:03:02. > :03:05.focusing on a fuel tank in the backyard of properties. They are

:03:19. > :03:23.of damage and we do ask that everyone ends but -- inspects their
:03:23. > :03:27.oil tanks to make sure they are in good condition and also that they

:03:51. > :03:55.they can return. Derriford Hospital has today been
:03:55. > :03:57.named a Major Trauma Centre for the South West as part of a plan to
:03:57. > :04:00.keep more critically injured patients alive. People with life
:04:00. > :04:02.threatening injuries should now be taken directly to their nearest
:04:02. > :04:06.centre. However, some patients may end up in other hospitals because
:04:06. > :04:15.air ambulances have nowhere to refuel in Plymouth. Here's our
:04:15. > :04:19.Health Correspondent Sally Mountjoy. Chris Hooper broke his bet -- leg
:04:19. > :04:25.in more than a dozen places when a car knocked him off his motorbike
:04:25. > :04:29.in Plymouth ten days ago. He was brought to Derriford Hospital for

:04:36. > :04:43.ankle, plastic surgery, all thoughts, severe pain relief, a lot
:04:43. > :04:48.of pain and discomfort but everyone has been helpful and kind.
:04:48. > :04:53.Today, the Department of Health declared Derriford at the peninsula
:04:53. > :04:56.at major trauma centres or anyone suffering more to life -- multiple
:04:56. > :05:04.or life-threatening injuries will be brought straight here rather
:05:04. > :05:08.than a local hospital. Patients have access to advanced technology.
:05:08. > :05:17.It means a change in the way we managed trauma across the UK,
:05:17. > :05:21.essentially, concentrating the activity and expertise in one area,
:05:21. > :05:27.which has been shown to save lives and get patients back to work
:05:27. > :05:31.quicker. Critically injured people in
:05:31. > :05:36.Somerset will go to Bristol, and those in Dorset to Southampton, but
:05:36. > :05:41.there is concern not all patients who should will go directly to
:05:41. > :05:44.Derriford Hospital. Since Plymouth airport closed, air ambulances
:05:44. > :05:48.cannot refuelled near there, so they may have to take patients
:05:48. > :05:54.elsewhere. We'll just a few days away from
:05:54. > :06:00.Easter, on the cusp of a very busy summer season. This is a busy,
:06:00. > :06:05.hard-working air ambulance operation, and we are concerned
:06:05. > :06:10.that the non-availability of fuel in the Plymouth area could impact
:06:10. > :06:16.on patient care from Cornwall. Do talks are ongoing to resolve the
:06:16. > :06:26.problem, meanwhile Derriford's, Team is sure its new designation

:08:59. > :09:06.after year and their decision has little to do with how the region is
:09:06. > :09:10.marketed. Spotlight's John Ayres has more.
:09:10. > :09:14.The Easter is a busy time. Attracting new business is well

:09:29. > :09:37.spend their money here, so hopefully it will be a boost to
:09:37. > :09:45.trade, as well. It is a pity, then, that a tanker
:09:45. > :09:49.drivers' strike has loomed. Why do visitors choose the South West? BBC

:10:26. > :10:33.The industry sees marketing as an important tool, but it must be done
:10:33. > :10:37.propertied -- properly. We're not all convinced of it
:10:37. > :10:40.because we has such strong levels of business and we can do it by
:10:40. > :10:48.direct e-mail, lots of sophisticated ways. Marketing into
:10:48. > :10:54.new markets specifically targeting people can be a useful tool, but it
:10:54. > :10:57.must be used carefully. With a tankers strike on hold until

:25:47. > :25:53.onwards. Much colder air, with showers pushing in from the South
:25:53. > :25:59.West. The likelihood is that the showers will bump into that cold
:25:59. > :26:03.air. High pressure beds in on Wednesday and Thursday, distinctly
:26:03. > :26:09.cold compared to this time last week. For tonight, generally
