A fire investigation has found that the most likely cause was deliberate ignition
People living near a derelict Nottinghamshire building say fires there are becoming regular after the most recent incident led to tiles "popping" off the roof. Crews from four stations attended the incident at a farmhouse on Mill Lane in Huthwaite, with firefighters battling to prevent a "total loss" of the building.
The team at Ashfield Fire Station issued a social media post on Tuesday asking parents and carers to "talk to their loved ones about the dangers of entering derelict buildings." The post added: "A criminal record of arson will limit job and travel opportunities in later life. It also puts their lives and those attending the incident at unnecessary risk."People living near the farmhouse say break-ins have become increasingly common there.
"I think this is the third time there has been a fire there in the last six months." Michael Knobbs, 55, who lives just down the road from the farmhouse, agreed that fires at the building had become a regular occurrence over the last year. "We were actually out all day and this is what we came back to, we couldn't even get down the road. It is a shame because I've heard that the building has been here for around 300 years. If my wife had seen it, she would have been terrified of the fire spreading to our house, because we are so close to it."
