FIREFIGHTERS tackled a blaze at a house in Wisbech on Saturday night for more than eight hours.

One crew from Wisbech, one crew from Outwell and a crew from West Walton were called to the house in Barton Road at 10.50pm. They arrived to find the fire well alight.

Crews used two hose reels and a jet to extinguish the fire and returned to their stations by 6.05am.

The cause of the fire was accidental.
