Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus went in and put out the flames with a hose and specialised chimney gear.

An hour earlier a fire crew from Sleaford was called to attend a collision on Moor Lane in Dorrington.

They used absorbant pads to stem a fuel leak and made the vehicle safe.

There were no reports about injuries.
