At 1.08am on Thursday (17) crews from Chatteris, Manea, March and Huntingdon were called to the fire.

A Cambs Fire spokesman said: “Firefighters arrived to find a well-developed fire in an empty single storey building. The fire was spreading quickly to other nearby buildings.

Crews returned to their stations by 5.45am.
