Crews were called to the scene shortly after 10.30am where they remained at the scene for more than two hours, with the assistance of police.

The fire is believed to have involved a car in the main car park.

Crews from Carrow, Sprowston, Earlham and Hethersett attended the vehicle fire.

The crews used hose reel jets to extinguish the fire and used Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) to blow air into the building.

A thermal image camera was then finally used to check for hot spots before the crews stood down at 12.26pm.
