The ambulance service was called at 8.39am, dispatching a rapid response car, two ambulances and a paramedic.

Paramedic officer Nick Smith said: 'We assessed five casualties for smoke inhalation. Their conditions weren't thought to be serious but they were conveyed to James Paget University Hospital in Gorleston as a precaution.'

All roads have now reopened but St Peter's Road was closed both ways between Standard Place and Napoleon Place while firefighters from around the region were at the scene.

Appliances from Great Yarmouth, Gorleston, Acle and Lowestoft were in attendance.
