Firefighters removed a fuse after occupants of a property in the town’s Greenfinch Avenue reported a smell of burning.
Two fire crews were called to the road shortly after 8pm, where they sourced the smell to a fuse box.
A spokeswoman for Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service said that the occupant had been advised to contact UK Power Networks.
They left the scene after removing the fuse.
