People were asked to avoid a residential area of King's Lynn while fire crews tackled a house blaze.

Fire crews from King's Lynn, Massingham, Heacham, Downham Market, Sandringham, Wisbech and March were called to the scene in Raby Avenue at 1.34pm.

Firefighters used a thermal imaging camera to look down through the roof of the property after the flames were extinguished by crews using hose reel jets and breathing apparatus.

Police were also in attendance and a road closure was in place between Edma Road and Loke Road roundabout.
