Forty homes were burned out or badly damaged, including almost all of the main street of the town.

FORMER Manchester United coach Benni McCarthy has an eye on management after leaving Old Trafford.
The former Blackburn striker was an attacking coach in Erik ten Hag’s first two years at the club.
He departed in the summer as part of a reshuffle that saw Ruud van Nistelrooy arrive at the club.
Now McCarthy wants to become a manager and believes he is capable of taking over a team in MLS, or Africa.
He told CNN Sport: “I think it’s clear after leaving United, that passion for wanting to be a head coach again blew through and that is the next step for me.
“Whether it’s to go back to the African continent to manage one of the big teams with the knowledge I’ve gained, that would be amazing to try and make them one of the powerhouses in African football.
“Also to try and reach a final when you play in the Club World Cup, that would be the aim.
“Or even the MLS interests me a lot. Opportunities like that I would welcome because I think I’ve got what it takes to manage there and to make players better and help teams achieve goals they’ve maybe not achieved in the last few years.”
McCarthy, 46, was well liked during his spell at United and was praised for turning Marcus Rashford into a clinical finisher during Ten Hag’s first season at the club.
The coach helped the Red Devils qualify for the Champions League and he believes the team has what it takes to finish in the top four again.

He added: “You can’t discard Man United. In two seasons under Erik ten Hag they have won two trophies.
“If they can take the cup form into the league and win on a consistent basis, then they are in with a chance – maybe not title contenders yet, but I definitely think to get themselves into the top-four again for Champions League football.
“Definitely they’ve got the squad of players to do so.”
MARRIED At First Sight bride Emma Barnes has revealed what her relationship with husband Caspar Todd was really like during their luxurious honeymoon.
Viewers watched with mouths agape earlier this week as Caspar delivered a cruel putdown.
He bluntly told Emma he rarely goes for “curvier women” and didn’t find her sexy.
Speaking to the programme’s official podcast, which is hosted by Chloe Burrows, Emma admitted it was far from the love-in she’d dreamed of.
She said: “We were in this gorgeous honeymoon suite with three balconies and a sea view. He stayed one night. I just had a lot of time thinking ‘Jesus, I don’t think he likes me’.”
Emma added that he did at least teach her how to play backgammon on the first night after bringing his own board, before their argument.
Gardener Caspar, 34, also compared sales manager Emma, 31, to his sister, who he said he “hates”.
The newlyweds sat down for a frank chat following a full 24 hours of being married.
Emma told him she’d had a “fabulous” first day and then asked how he was feeling.
But a despondent Caspar told her: “I’ve been struggling, I don’t know if you’ve felt it. But I haven’t felt that spark I was hoping to feel.”
Trying to gain some clarity, Emma asked: “What started off those feelings?”
Caspar admitted that some of the things Emma did on their wedding day reminded him of his sister.
A confused Emma said: “What did I do?”
He explained: “Watching you and her laugh together, there’s an element and sort of mannerisms – I’m equating one with the other and it’s not good.”
Keen to get to know Caspar better, Emma then asked what his “usual type” is.
He then brutally put her down by saying: “I’ve rarely gone for the curvier person,” leaving his bride gobsmacked.
She replied: “Do you think I look sexy tonight?”
A panicked Caspar breathed heavily as Emma asked: “But you don’t think I’m sexy?”
Caspar replied: “No.”
Emma went on: “So you didn’t fancy me and you don’t fancy me, right?”
“Not currently no, lets be honest,” Caspar admitted.
Emma hit back and issued him some advice – saying he needs to work on his own outlook before judging women on their appearance.
She responded: “If you didn’t think I was sexy in my f***ing wedding dress and my gorgeous bikini today, I don’t know what hope there is.”
Clearly astonished by his comment, she put him in his place by saying: “But what we’re here to do is look beyond that and what you need to do is look beyond that because my personality, my confidence should help you be more confident and you should see qualities bigger than my clothes size.
“You need to work on your view of women.”
