See inside: Office ruined after huge late-night blaze

Emergency services attended the junction of Mile Cross Lane, Boundary Road and Cromer Road around 11pm on Saturday night after a fire broke out in a private garden next door.

The Enterprise Rent-A-Car office, in Mile Cross Lane, has been significantly damaged as a result of the fire.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car staff member Ed Veiga said: "I came back today to see the damage. It was a shock.

"I have no idea about how long it will take to reopen the building. We have had a lot of people come and estimate it but we have not been told yet."

Staff are currently working from Enterprise's other branch in Heigham Street with Mr Veiga assisting customers picking up cars from outside the damaged building.

Mr Veiga added: "We manage throughout adversity. Bad things can happen."

An Enterprise spokesman said: “We are currently assessing the extent of the damage to the branch which is closed while this work is carried out.

"However, we will continue to serve customers from our other branch in the city and are contacting everyone who has a booking with us to confirm that their booking will be fulfilled.
