One of the firefighters at the incident said: "We had to take up the floor boards, panelling and take down part of the cellar's ceiling because the fire head spread underneath."

Ten firefighters battled the fire using breathing apparatus.

Nobody was injured and the cause of the fire is not suspicious.
