00:03A popular Derbyshire florist shop, damaged by a fire over the weekend, is operating from temporary premises, as owners thank the local community for their support.
00:13Fire crews from across the area, including Alfredton, Chesterfield, Ripley, Critch and Ashfield, were called to reports of a fire at a building at Alfredton's High Street on Friday night.
00:23Flames ripped through the roof, severely damaging the three-storey premises, home to two local businesses, Enchanted Rose Florists and the Eternal Beauty Salon.

00:50We have felt so much love and support, it's helping us get through this.
00:54Firefighters said that an investigation into the cause of the fire determined the most likely cause to be accidental due to a tumble dryer.
