This is the dramatic moment a fire broke out close to a recycling plant in Suffolk, which firefighters battled throughout the night.
Four fire crews from across the county fought the blaze outside a recycling centre in Red Lodge on Thursday, May 2.
They arrived in The Carrops shortly before 10pm and fought the fire through the night, stepping down at 7.15am Friday morning - almost 10 hours after arrival.
The small country road is home to a scrap metal recycling plant, as well as several car part shops.
A spokesman for Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service said: “We were called shortly before 10pm to reports of household waste on fire outside a property in Red Lodge.
