Crews were called to the scene in Caistor Road at around 8.04pm and used three jets, two hose reels and two breathing apparatus while tackling the fire - which caused serious damage to roof, first floor, and 75 per cent of ground floor of detached house.

Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue said that the fire was caused by a spark from the chimney, and that the detached house was in the process of being renovated.

Fire officers were due to re-visit this morning to ensure the site is safe.

The family all got out of the building safely, and nobody was injured.
