Three thatched houses have been damaged in a fire in Witchford.

At 9pm last night two crews from Cambridge, a crew from Ely, a crew from Littleport, one crew from Chatteris, a crew from Soham, one crew from Manea, two crews from Newmarket in Suffolk, a turntable ladder from Cambridge, a water carrier from Yaxley and an incident command unit from Huntingdon were called to a thatch fire in Main Street.

No-one was hurt and everyone was out of the houses before the fire brigade arrived.

The fire was out by 11.35pm.

The cause of the fire is thought to be accidental.
