Appeal to help victims of fire which destroyed home

Emergency services were called to Beech Close in Market Deeping at 4am on Saturday after the house caught fire.

While no-one was seriously injured, the property was very badly damaged.

The owners of the house are being assisted with accommodation by the British Red Cross, but now an appeal to help has been launched.

The Just Giving Page has already raised more than £2,000.

The page was set up by Joe Wray, and he said: “I have set this up to help the people who have lost their house in the fire on Beech Close! Please donate so we can help them to get back on their feet after this tragedy!!! People of Deeping come together and see what we can do!!!”
