Ten firefighters from Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service raced to the incident at the junction of Warden Hill and Sandy Road.Â
They arrived at 3.15pm and fought the fire with three water jets and a hose reel, with the fire declared “out” at 5.25pm as it took a while to extinguish all the embers.
