Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue says soon there'll only be one fire crew dealing with what's left of a blaze at Lincolnshire Firewood in Wyberton.

The fire broke out at about 07:30 this morning and at its height eight crews were in attendance.

Firefighters had to use specialist equipment to try and bring it under control.

We reported a little while ago about the search for missing 16-year-old Joshua Eccleston who'd gone missing from Grimsby earlier this afternoon.

Humberside Police now say there's been some very good news about the vulnerable teenager:

A school caretaker from Boston who admitted sexual offences against three underage girls has been jailed for three years.

Lincoln Crown Court heard how Bryan Pauly, 44, of Hospital Lane, was caught after a teenage girl complained he'd asked to enter a toilet cubical she was in before asking for a kiss.

Following this complaint, the police managed to trace two other victims.

Pauly, a father of two, pleaded guilty to four charges of sexual assault on a child under 13, one charge of sexual activity with a child, and one charge of attempting to incite a child under 16.

He'll also be on the sex offenders register for life.

Joshua Eccleston was last seen riding his bike around the Sheraton Drive area of Humberston at about 13:20 today.

Police say he doesn't normally go beyond the street where he lives so might be worried about being away from home.

They also say he's friendly, but his speech isn't always clear.

If you see Joshua, please call police on the 101 number to help get him home.

He's less than a month old and was in pretty poor shape when he was found.

Orphaned, underweight, with wounds to his face and flippers, things weren't looking good.

But a week on he's in a much better condition, according to Natureland staff.
