Firefighters were called to tackle a blaze on a farm in Belchamp St Paul where 100 tonnes of manure had caught alight.
Crews were called to the blaze at a farm in Bakers Road just after 10.30am on Monday, November 15.
A spokesman for Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service said: "The heaps do self combust because of the heat they generate.
"It is 100 tonnes of manure approximately and an appliance from Clare is in attendance but a water carrier is also being sent from Halstead. "
A 'stop' call was made at 1.05pm this afternoon.
