Please avoid Market Lane, Terrington St Clements and surrounding roads. We are dealing with a commercial building fire. We recommend that people in the local area close doors and windows.
UPDATE at 20.24 on 12/05/25 - We are still on scene but the below advice is no longer in effect. We'd like to thank the public for their assistance.
We currently have a number of appliances at a fire in Lakes End near Downham Market.
People living in the area are advised to keep their doors and windows closed until further notice.

We are currently in attendance at a large building fire on Plumstead road, Norwich. Nearby residents are advised to close windows and traffic to find alternative routes. Thank you.
We were called earlier this morning to a house fire in Walcott, where crews rescued two people from the property.
Road closures have been put in place (see below), which are expected to last for a number of hours.
Police are currently at the scene of a house fire in Coast Road, Walcott.

Following a large fire at Dibden Road, nearby residents are asked to keep window/doors closed and avoid handling ash/debris.
The site involved in the fire contained asbestos. While it is possible that asbestos-containing materials were released in the smoke and deposited as ash or debris in the surrounding area, the risk to health remains low.
Asbestos fibres are generally trapped within the material they were originally part of and are not easily released into the air.
If you urgently need to use your vehicle and you notice ash on it, dampen the debris and wear protective gloves to remove it.
We are arranging for tests to be done and will provide more guidance later today.
As Steve Plunkett couldn't make our annual awards night, he met Carrow white watch, DCFO Scott Norman & GM Emyr Gough so we could thank him. Steve won fundraiser of the year for the Carl Mills Memorial football match. It raised £26k, for @firefighters999 @MindCharity & EAAA.
