The cause of a fire which ripped through the roofs of three homes in Louth is ‘undetermined’ after the completion of an investigation by Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue.
The fire on Gresley Road was called in to Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue in the early hours of on Wednesday, May 18. Crews from Louth, Binbrook, Mabelthorpe, Grantham and Alford initially attended the scene to battle the fire, and nearby residents were advised to keep doors and windows closed.

Photos from the scene show the damage to the roofs of the properties, with sections of them totally blackened and destroyed.
A police cordon was put in place and occupants of the homes were provided support from the British Red Cross Lincolnshire Emergency Response team. Couple Simmone Proud and Daniel “Pez” Perry – who previously appeared on Channel 4’s Skint programme – are said to live in one of the homes, according to the Grimsby Telegraph.
