FIREFIGHTERS were called to a fire at a building supplies manufacturer in St Ives yesterday.

Crews from St Ives, Papworth and Huntingdon attended the blaze, which had started when a kiln became overheated, at Marshalls Mono in Meadow Lane around 3.50pm.

They used one hose reel to extinguish the flames and returned to their fire station by 4.55pm.

The cause of the fire was accidental.
