From the BBC -

Explosion reported at Lincolnshire showground
Firefighters have been called to a former airfield in Lincolnshire following reports of an explosion.

Six fire engines have been sent to Manby showground, near Louth, where a former RAF hangar containing planes and machinery is understood to be alight.

James Tointon, who works nearby, said: "It was a large fire with lots of smoke but it looks like the fire crews have got it under control now."

It is thought there could be gas canisters inside the hangar.

Michael Kheng, who was driving from Mablethorpe to Louth when the fire broke out, said: "There were really thick plumes of black smoke.

"There were loads of fire engines and driving into Louth you could see response vehicles all firing their way down there."

Winchester Marine, which owns the hangar, said it had been told by fire officers they do not believe anyone is missing or has been injured.
