Inquiry into leisure centre blaze

Wood cladding in the sauna area is thought to have caught fire

A leisure centre in a Norfolk seaside resort was evacuated after a fire started in the sauna area.

Firefighters were called to Great Yarmouth's Marina Leisure and Fitness Centre on Tuesday evening after reports of the blaze.

About 30 club members and staff were led to safety from the building.

A Norfolk Fire Service spokesman said it was thought wood cladding in the sauna area caught fire and caused smoke-damage to most of the centre.

An investigation into the cause of the blaze will begin on Wednesday.
