A fire at a house in Great Gonerby last night (Wednesday) was caused by a candle left unattended.
Crews from Grantham were called to Holden Way at around 6pm to a report of a house fire. The flames had been put out by the home-owner and damage was confined to a curtain.
A Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue spokesman said: “Never leave candles unattended.”
