FIREFIGHTERS tackled a blaze in a shed which is used to rear pheasants.

The fire, which engulfed part of the shed, broke out at 2.05am today in Lawford.

There were two propane cylinders in the shed in Harwich Road, which meant there were added complications for the two crews from Manningtree and one from Colchester who attended.

The incident was finished by 4.10am.
