Flames tore through a warehouse at online retailer less2build's premises at Narborough, near Swaffham, in the early hours of today.

Michael Mundy, who lives around 100yds from the site, said he was woken by the fire.

"It was around two-ish, it was like a crackling, bubbling sound," he said.

Another man living nearby said: "I got up and I could see loads of lights. There was an orange glow and six or seven fire engines there."

A worker at less2build, which sells timber and building materials, said no-one was available to speak about the blaze.

Eight crews from Swaffham, King's Lynn and Sandringham attended the fire. The alarm was raised at around 1.15am.
