At the height of the incident there were seven appliances, two aerial ladder platforms, and a high volume pump at the scene.
“We initially closed as a precaution and we carried out the evacuation at the request of the fire service. There were concerns over the structure of the derelict building and the risk of the spread of the fire. “If it wasn’t for the hard work of the fire service, we are confident our building would have suffered the same fate. Their quick actions and response, and teamwork, managed to contain the fire in challenging conditions.”Investigations continue into the cause of a fire and Matt King, Divisional Commander for the East Division at Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue, toldthat some crews were still in attendance and dampening down and would remain at the scene for most of the day.
“We also had embers from the fire travelling towards the port of Boston so we deployed an additional crew, who were standing by in case of any secondary fires. When asked about the cause of the fire, he added: “An investigation is ongoing to establish what the cause was. Because the structure of the building is so unsafe we can’t commit fire investigators inside the building until then.
