Fire in Haughley

Fire crews from Stowmarket and surrounding stations attended, with the incident escalated to four fire engines, after it became apparent the fire had spread from a wheelie bin to an external outbuilding.

On arrival, crews confirmed all persons were accounted for and began firefighting operations using two hose reel jets, a covering jet and small tools. Firefighters also stripped roof tiles from the affected outbuilding to fully extinguish the fire and check for any hidden fire spread.

The fire was contained to the outbuilding and the incident closed at 12.30pm. No casualties have been reported.
