After the roof was struck by lightning during heavy thunderstorms near the coast, the building caught fire and flames were seen by people living nearby.
An eyewitness reported a blast so loud that her "house windows shivered" at the time of the lightning impact.
Crews from Acle, Great Yarmouth, Gorleston and the Aerial Ladder Platform from Earlham were at the scene.
