Fire inside barn
Firefighters were called to cars on fire inside a barn in Stisted earlier today.
Crews worked quickly to contain the fire inside the 27m by 20 metre building, where a number of classic vehicles were being stored.
Unfortunately, three cars and a boat were destroyed.
Watch manager Darren Hockley said: “Thanks to incredible work from our on-call firefighters we managed to limit the damage and contain the fire so not all of the vehicles and barn were lost.”
The cause of the fire is believed to be accidental.
