Police have launched an arson investigation after a huge fire broke out at a derelict hotel in Cambridgeshire.
Around 20 firefighters tackled the blaze at the former Station Hotel on Station Road, March, at 12.48pm on Monday, November 2.
Crews from March, Wisbech, Chatteris and Stanground, along with the north roaming fire engine, attended.
Emergency services closed Station Road to all vehicles and nearby residents were advised to stay in their homes and keep doors and windows closed.
Crews contained the fire and stopped it spreading to nearby properties.
On November 3, a spokesperson for Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "Crews have continued to make regular inspections to ensure the area is safe.
"Due to the location of the fire and the building structure being unsafe to enter, the firefighting has continued to take place from the outside of building.
"The cause of the fire has been determined as deliberate.
"Anyone with information should contact police by visiting www.cambs.police.uk to submit an online report or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111."
On November 4, Cambridgeshire Police confirmed they were investigating arson.
A spokesperson for the force said: "We are currently treating this as arson.
