Investigation fails to find cause of caravan and house fire in Fulbeck

A fire investigation has been unable to determine the cause of a caravan and house fire in which one person went to hospital.

Four crews from Sleaford, Grantham and Lincoln South attended a fire at a detached property on South Heath Lane, Fulbeck, at midday on Saturday.

One casualty was taken to hospital by ambulance suffering with smoke inhalation.

The fire started on the hedge and caravan, before spreading to the nearby house, which suffered severe fire damage to the kitchen on the ground floor and bathroom on the first floor and 10% of the roof.

There was also fire damage to the campervan adjacent to the house, an oil tank in the rear garden, around 15 metres of conifer hedging at the front of the house and an electric gate.

The remainder of the property suffered smoke damage.

Crews used three breathing apparatus, four hose reels, thermal imaging cameras and ladders to extinguish the fire.

The aerial ladder platform was used to remove roof tiles for further inspection.
