There were seven fire crews in attendance earlier this morning, and eyewitnesses reported a steady stream of police and fire teams walking past their windows hours later.
An eyewitness who lives on the street said that there was “a huge commotion of people” gathering at the junction with Marine Road at around 6.30am, with a lot of people “very confused as to what was going on”.
He added that “there didn’t seem to be any flames or smoke” but that there was hydraulic equipment stationed outside one of the residential properties further down the street.
Norfolk Police have confirmed that there were no fatalities or injuries as a result of the blaze.
Three adults and four children were inside the house when the fire began, but vacated the premises quickly.
Neighbouring properties were also affected by the fire and residents have been temporarily rehoused.
