Daniel Leighton alerted the fire service when he saw the blaze as he was driving past.

"I still wasn't sure at this point if anyone was inside the burning building, but I couldn't get close enough as flames came too high too fast and the heat got unbearable.

"Me and another guy who past by helped get the cars out of the garage before that went up as well."

Mr Leighton said the fire service arrived quickly and praised them for their efforts.

A 'stop' call was made at 1.30am on Friday by the fire service.

Appliances from Ipswich East and Woodbridge were called to tackle the incident.
