Two relief crews are still on Stamford Road in Lound where a warehouse caught fire early this morning, Lincs Fire and Rescue say.

The incident caused damage to a HGV and a caravan, as well as a warehouse and a number of shipping containers.

Crews have been using breathing apparatus and plenty of water pumps to tackle the blaze, and a fire investigation has since been completed but the cause is undetermined.

Eight water pumps, a water tank and an aerial platform were initially needed to fight the fire in the early hours of this morning, but resources were scaled back to three pumps later on.

Lincs Fire and Rescue said on social media at 4:15am that nearby residents should keep their windows and doors closed.
