14 firefighters tackling blaze at garage in Kibworth

Four appliances from Kibworth, Market Harborough, Billesdon and Wigston raced to tackle the fire in Fleckney Road just before 1pm.

A Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said just before 2pm: “This is a serious incident and we are still fighting the fire.

“People at the house have been evacuated and no one has been injured.

“We have about 14 firefighters using three main jets and two hosereels and a station officer at the scene.”
