Large fire destroys sheds and damages houses in Mountsorrel

Leicestershire Fire and Rescue are investigating the cause of the blaze.

Fire crews were first called to The Romans and Boundary Road, Mountsorrel in the early hours of this morning (9th June) after a large number of calls.

Callers reported a garden fire which spread to the ground floor of a house. There were no injuries but the fire eventually destroyed three sheds, one room of the house and half of the ground floor due to heat and smoke. There was also damage to the first floor. 

Appliances from Loughborough, Western, and Eastern stations were in attendance. Police and ambulance crews were also present.

It took teams over two hours to fully extinguish the fire. 

A full investigation will be conducted in daylight hours.
