A spokesperson for the fire service said about 38 firefighters were tackling the blaze at its height.

Smoke could be seen for many miles and due to the wind direction was heading towards Ottringham and Keyingham.

The A1033 Withernsea Road had been closed in both directions from Guardians Road to Winestead Lane but has now reopened.
