Firefighters are tackling the fire from the outside of the building and from the flat roof at the back by removing roof tiles to access hot spots, Essex County Fire and Rescue said.

Oliver Cromwell won't be pulling train back to London
Stuart Howells
BBC Radio Suffolk
A mechanical failure on the Oliver Cromwell steam engine has meant it will not be powering the journey back to Liverpool Street this evening.
The train eased in to Norwich railway station having had to travel at about 20mph for the last six or seven miles of its journey from London Liverpool Street.
It took close to four hours to get to Norwich, having left the capital at 10:20.
The Oliver Cromwell has been de-coupled from the carriages which will have to be pulled back to London by a diesel engine, leaving Norwich at 19:05.
Oliver Cromwell arrives in Norwich
The Oliver Cromwell engine has arrived at Norwich railway station - about 50 minutes late.
It's travelled from Liverpool Street and here's footage of it passing through Suffolk, between Stowmarket and Diss:
A steam-powered locomotive which spent most of its working life as the London to Norwich Express is having one final hurrah on the line today before it goes out of service.
The 70013 Oliver Cromwell, built in 1951, is due to be withdrawn in March after its boiler certificate expires.
It is making the return trip from London Liverpool Street to Norwich, stopping at Colchester at 11:44.
It's already on its way up the coast, having set off from Liverpool Street at 10:20.
