Three fire engines have been at a derelict residential home in Sandown - on Carter Street - this evening (Sunday).

One pump has since left the incident, however.

Police officers are also on scene and part of the town, near St John's Church, is cordoned off.

The County Press understands the building is Stonehaven - which has been empty for several years.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue have described the incident to the County Press as a 'small fire in a bedroom.'

They are continuing to check the loft space of the building.  

Officers from Hampshire Constabulary are among those to have responded.
