Electrical fault caused Spalding fire that injured two

An electrical fault has been listed as the cause of a fire that injured two people and damaged three Spalding homes.

The incident took place in Hawthorn Bank shortly after 2am on Saturday, November 13.

This morning (Monday) the road remains closed to vehicles. The Voice understands this is due to concerns over the safety of one of the buildings.

Two people suffered minor burns as a result of the incident, Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue said.

A spokesman for the service said: “Two crews from Spalding, and crews from Crowland, Holbeach and Kirton attended, along with the Aerial Ladder Platform from Boston. All persons had evacuated from the premises.

“The crews used four hose reel jets, ten sets of breathing apparatus, two nine metre ladders, a dry powder extinguisher and four thermal imaging cameras to extinguish the fire that was caused accidentally by an electrical fault on an appliance in the first floor bedroom.

“The fire affected the entirety of the house, plus spread to the roof spaces of the next two properties in the terrace.

“Two people suffered minor burns and were left in the care of the ambulance service.”
