THREE fire engines were called to a blaze in Freeman Street, Grimsby.
The incident took place today at 11.45am at a block of flats.
The fire was caused by bedding being left too close to a fire.
There was minimal damage from the flames but smoke spread through eight flats.
Watch manager Glyn Dixon from Humberside Fire and Rescue said: "We arrived on scene very quickly so there was minimal damage by the fire itself.
"We astisted two people out of the flat and we would just like to warn people to be careful with extra bedding during the cold weather."
OBSESSED lover Paul Hynes made his ex-girlfriend's life a "complete misery" after bombarding her with 159 threatening, abusive or anguished text messages.
He threatened to "burn" her, make her life hell and kill her as well as warning her that if he could not have her, nobody could.
He even attacked her new boyfriend after recklessly hurtling and screeching towards them in his car on a pavement, a court heard.
Hynes, 45, of Springfield Grange, Oatfield Close, Grimsby, admitted assaulting Stephen Fox, causing actual bodily harm, on June 16, assaulting Ellen Gilmour on July 23 and harassing her between June 15 and July 24.
Michele Stuart-Lofthouse, prosecuting, told Grimsby Crown Court that Hynes and Miss Gilmour previously lived together but she began to have doubts about the relationship and had a "change of heart" in April.
She began a friendship with Mr Fox, a work customer, but Hynes challenged her about it and began "ranting and raving".
Miss Gilmour later began a relationship with Mr Fox. As they were walking towards a restaurant, Hynes drove towards them on a footpath, screeched to a halt, got out and was shouting and screaming, with his fists clenched.
He headbutted Mr Fox in the face, causing a swollen eye. He later told Miss Gilmour he would kill Mr Fox. Hynes bombarded her with 159 text messages and told her when they met: "You have messed with the wrong people. I still love you. Stop seeing him."
Messages read: "I am going to burn you", "I'm not going to be without you. Nobody's going to have you" and "I promise that I will not stop until the end. Someone's going to have to put a bullet to my head."
He also wrote: "The only person that will lose will be you" and "I'm going to make your life a hell."
Other messages read: "You'll be dead and I mean dead" and "I'm going to knock you out. I'm going to bang your teeth out of your head."
Miss Gilmour feared for her safety and felt vulnerable, frightened and terrorised, said Miss Stuart-Lofthouse.
Andrew Bailey, mitigating, said Hynes had now "moved on" and there had been no further trouble. He worked seven days a week as a crane safety rigger.
Recorder Jonathan Bennett said Hynes had been "waging a campaign of intimidation and harassment" against his ex-girlfriend and had a conviction from 2006 for assaulting his then wife.
"You have made your former partner's life a complete misery," said Recorder Bennett.
Hynes was given a 17-month suspended prison sentence and a two-year supervision order, including a domestic abuse programme.
He was given a five-year restraining order, banning him from contacting Miss Gilmour and from going to Barnoldby Road, in Waltham, and her workplace.
Hynes was ordered to pay £500 compensation to her, £300 to Mr Fox and £400 costs.
Cambridge held leaders Grimsby to a 0-0 draw in a game full of chances at the Abbey Stadium.
The contest got off to a flying start, with both sides having opportunities to take the lead inside the opening five minutes.
Striker Michael Gash came within inches of connecting with Curtis Haynes-Brown's cross and at the other end, Andy Cook hit the crossbar before seeing his follow-up effort cleared off the line by Josh Coulson.
Sheffield Wednesday loanee Matthew Fletcher, making his Cambridge debut, saw a close-range shot well blocked as United finished the first half on top.
Substitute Richard Brodie hit the woodwork with an ambitious effort which had Craig Ross well beaten after 53 minutes.
Moments later the Mariners had a goal disallowed for offside as Marcus Marshall wheeled away in celebration prematurely.
Derek Niven and Jamie Devitt linked brilliantly to carve out a superb opening for the visitors late on, but the latter's shot flashed just wide of the far post.

AFTER last night's showing, Grimsby Town fans could be forgiven for dreaming of Wembley already.
On what was a rousing evening at Blundell Park, the Mariners comprehensively brushed aside league rivals Luton Town to make it through to the semi-finals of the FA Trophy.
Rob Scott and Paul Hurst's men will now have to come through two legs against either FC Halifax or Dartford - who play tonight - in order to secure a return to the home of football.
But as Scott stressed in the aftermath of last night's clash, no-one should be getting carried away just yet.
Granted, on paper, the Mariners should have too much for either Halifax or Dartford, but as my predecessor said so often, football is not played on paper.
The Darts have already won at Blundell Park this season and they or the Shaymen will be tricky opponents in the last four.
The Mariners will have to be at their best once again for fans to start booking their tickets to London in March.
WREXHAM look to have lost regular number one Joslain Mayebi for the rest of the season after the stopper ruptured his Achilles tendon.
The Cameroon international suffered the injury early in the second half of the Dragons' 2-2 draw with Southport last night.
It is the same inury suffered by Mariners star Liam Hearn and looks set to rule the keeper out for eight months.
Last night, boss Andy Morrell said the club will look to sign a replacement before tomorrow night's transfer deadline.
