Fire crews were called out around 4pm yesterday (30th January). Nine appliances attended including aerial ladder platforms.

People were evacuated and crews managed to eventually bring the blaze under control.

The cause is still under investigation.

Matt King from Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue spoke to us about how crews tackled the fire:

"The fire was under control by about 8pm last night. Because of the structure of the building we've not been able to get near to it yet but there will be an investigation once it' safe to do so - to get the root cause of what happened and why.

"Our focus has been purely on putting the fire out at this stage."
