Station Manager Aiden Evans, from Humberside Fire and Rescue Service, said firefighters had been "working very hard to get the incident under control".

"The conditions are quite against us really with regard to wind and rain," he said.

"Luckily the fire has breached the roof area which has allowed us to attack it from above."
