Four homes have been left uninhabitable on Grey Street but nobody was injured, according to Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue.

It is understood that the vape was being charged on the bed and had “set the house on fire”.

The vape started to emit smoke but when the resident removed it from the charge, it exploded in their hand.

A fundraiser has been set up to help the families affected by the Grey Street fire.

The fire service has said an investigation will now take place to examine why the vape exploded.
