Three fire engines and the height vehicle are in attendance at yet another fire at the former Ramsgate home of British wrestler Jackie Pallo.
Kent Fire and Rescue Service was called to the property, off Haine Road, at 12.14pm today (July 30).
A KFRS spokesperson said: “KFRS was called at 12:14pm to reports of a fire in a derelict building close to the Lord of the Manor roundabout in Ramsgate.
“Three fire engines and a height vehicle are at the scene. Firefighters are currently tackling the fire.
“At this time there are no reported injuries and at the cause isn’t known.”
Motorists around Thanet are advised to avoid the area near Haine Road and Lord of the Manor roundabout due to firefighting operations closing the route.
A Kent Police spokesperson said: “Kent Police was called at around 12.20pm to a building alight near the Lord of the Manor roundabout in Ramsgate. Officers have closed the road near the scene while fire crews tackle the blaze.”
An application to create six homes at the site was refused by Thanet councillors last year due to concerns about pedestrian and cyclist access.
Ozengell Farm was the home of the wrestling hero until his death from cancer in 2006, aged 80. His son, Jackie Jnr, and wife Trixie continued to live at the property. Trixie died in 2013.
The four-bed property was also gutted by fire in March 2018, believed to have been deliberately set. Ramsgate and Margate crews were called to the site with 16 firefighters and four fire engines at the scene during the height of the blaze.
The cause of that fire was recorded as unknown.
