A major wildfire in Suffolk continues to spread, with firefighters warning that the blaze remains "unpredictable" as crews battle challenging conditions.
Emergency services have been working around the clock to contain the fire, but changing winds and dry vegetation have made it difficult to bring the situation under control. Fire officials say the incident is still developing and have urged people to stay away from the affected area.
Residents nearby are being advised to keep windows and doors closed if smoke is present and to follow any updates or instructions issued by local authorities. Fire crews remain on scene, supported by specialist equipment, as they work to prevent the flames from spreading further.
The cause of the wildfire has not yet been confirmed, and investigations are expected to begin once it is safe to do so. Authorities are also reminding the public to avoid lighting barbecues, campfires, or discarding cigarettes in dry countryside, as the risk of further fires remains high.
Firefighters have thanked local communities for their patience and cooperation, adding that the situation could change quickly due to shifting weather conditions. More updates are expected as crews continue their efforts to contain the blaze.
