Bretton residents evacuated after 'severe' gas main fire

About 90 residents had to be evacuated after a fire in a "major" gas main.

Firefighters were called to Hyholmes in Bretton, Peterborough, just after midnight.

Group commander Danny Kelly said it was a "severe fire" and crews did a "fantastic job" protecting nearby properties.

The 50m (164ft) cordon has been lifted and residents who were being sheltered in a community centre nearby have been told they can return home.
