Infusions said in a Facebook post: “We are devastated to report that we have had a very serious fire in our building.

“All our infrastructure is affected and everything temporarily suspended while the Fire Brigade get things under control. Everybody is out of the building and everyone is safe but we are all very heartbroken. Thank you for the messages of love and support and for your patience while we find a way forward. Infusions is the people not the building.”

Station commander Henry Griffin, of Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service, said the fire was out within about 45 minutes, but firefighters would stay to check for hotspots.
