Fire fighters have been battling a blaze at a Long Sutton home which started in the early hours of this morning (Wednesday, March 4).
Three fire crews were called to the blaze at a property on Anfield Road shortly after 2am.
In a statement shortly after 6.35am this morning a Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue spokesman said: “We still have two pumps and an Alp in attendance.
“We are advising residents keep doors and windows shut while we deal with this.”
The Voice understands two men were at the home a man in his 80s and his carer, but both escaped unhurt.
Neighbour Chris Cooper noticed what was happening and knocked on others doors to alert them.
”I heard them say there was a fire and saw a little one in the hall, but then it just went up quickly,” he said. “I was just banging on the doors and ringing the doorbells as everyone was asleep.
”Thankfully everyone was ok.”
The home is owned by housing association Amplius.
A spokesperson for the firm said: “We’d like to thank Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue for its swift and professional response to this incident.
“Three of our properties have been damaged as a result of the fire, and our customers living in these homes will need alternative temporary accommodation.
“We’re working with our customers to ensure this is arranged for them and that they receive all the support they need.
“In the meantime, we’ll continue to work with the fire service as they investigate the cause of the fire.
“Once safe, we’ll then inspect the three properties to confirm what repairs need carrying out to ensure our customers can move back home as soon as possible.”
