A much-needed facility in the area
Police are investigating a suspected arson attack at an industrial site near Gainsborough, after it was reported a group of young people were seen letting off fireworks just before the fire started.
Two people who were staying on site were treated by the East Midlands Ambulance Service for smoke inhalation as a large black smoke plume filled the air, which could be seen from as far afield as Lincoln and Grantham. Damage was also caused to outbuildings and power lines. Crews remained at the scene over the weekend before Nottinghamshire Police launched an appeal for information, as they suspect the fire was started deliberately.
