Fire destroys multimillionaire's island retreat in Poole
Fire has torn through a Berkshire multimillionaire's wooden home on a Dorset island.
A team of 45 firefighters were scrambled to the privately-owned 45-acre Green Island in Poole Harbour, Dorset.
The island was bought by millionaire Edward Iliffe in 2005 for £2.5m.
Two years ago he won planning permission to build a luxury six-bedroom log cabin which was purpose-built in Canada from cedar logs and shipped over.
