FIREFIGHTERS were called to tackle a blaze involving several trees in Lowestoft this evening.
The fire affected a patch of undergrowth off Walmer Road and a crew from Lowestoft South Fire Station was sent out at 7.23pm.
The crew arrived within five minutes and used a water backpack and one hose reel to fight the flames and the incident was under control by 7.47pm.
A spokesman for Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service said it appeared that the fire had been started deliberately.
