THE cause of a fire which spread from a hedge to surrounding buildings in Great Stukeley is as yet unknown.

Firefighters from Huntingdon were called to the site of the blaze at West View at 5.22pm on Friday. They found the hedge and a fence well-alight.

It took them more than three hours to put out the fire. Investigations into the cause are continuing.
