Eight fire engines have been called to a fire at a pub opened by England cricketer Stuart Broad on the Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire border. The fire service confirmed crews had been called to a fire at the Tap & Run, in Upper Broughton, co-owned by Broad and former Nottinghamshire star and seamer Harry Gurney.
A spokeswoman for Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “The time of the call was 3.22 am this morning.
“It’s a public house premises and we have had eight engines in attendance, one aerial ladder platform, water carrier, command support vehicle.
“It was a building of two floors, 15 metres by 30 metres, the area of the building.
“The fire was on the first floor and roof.
“They have used two main jets and then two hose reel jets.”
It is unclear if there have been any injuries, however, it was thought the pub was empty at the time.
An investigation into the fire has yet to be launched.
The pub is located on the Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire border, near Melton Mowbray.
Firefighters have advised the public to avoid the area if possible and asked local residents to keep doors and windows closed if their properties were affected by the smoke.
A tweet at 4.30 am by the fire service said: “We currently have eight fire engines at an incident on Main Road, Upper Broughton.
“We ask you to please avoid the area if possible and for local residents to keep their doors and windows closed if affected by the smoke.”
