Second fire at rescue station

The rescue boat itself was damaged in the first fire

Fire has again damaged the headquarters of the Cleethorpes inshore rescue lifeboat.

The fire broke out around 2100 BST on Friday in the boathouse behind the Cleethorpes first aid station.

The building suffered heat and smoke damage.

On Tuesday, the rescue boat itself was damaged in a fire and its launch tractor written-off.

An appeal had already been started to raise money to resurrect the service which is run by volunteers.

It is thought Friday's fire was caused by an electrical fault.

The main RNLI lifeboat service at Cleethorpes is not affected and remains fully operational.
