Crews were called to Sidegate Lane in Ipswich after receiving reports that the shed fire had spread to a nearby house.

On arriving at the scene shortly after 12.15pm, they tackled the fire using a hose reel jet and used a thermal imaging camera to check the loft space for further hot spots.

A spokesman for the fire service said that the incident was brought under control by 12.35pm and the fire had not spread to the home.
