Speaking at the scene, station manager Roger Mitchell said: "We are lucky enough to have some specialist crews in Norfolk.

"Our Urban Search and Rescue Team responded to make sure the building is safe and liaise with building control to see what we can do to ensure it remains safe.

"There are no issues or hazards for locals. We just want to make sure the houses are safe before we leave.

"Building control have accessed it and it looks like the structure of the house does appear to be sound.

"We have carefully down the scaffolding – with the scaffolding company - and a cordon will be put in place around the loose brickwork. Then we will hand the scene over to the police."
