Crews were called just after 5pm yesterday (Monday) to the blaze in Lincoln Road, New England.

One crew from Dogsthorpe, one crew from the Peterborough Volunteer Fire Brigade, one crew from Stanground and a crew from Yaxley arrived at the scene to find a well developed fire in a bungalow.

Wearing breathing apparatus, firefighters used two hose reels jets and one covering jet to extinguish the fire.

The cause of the fire was accidental.

A spokesman for Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service said all persons were accounted for.
