Fire fighters have put out a dramatic thatched roof fire near Stowmarket which saw 22 crew members attend.
The service was called at around 12.50pm today to reports of smoke coming from the roof of a property in Tile Row, Moats Tye and 10 engines were mobilised from across Suffolk to the scene.
Nine engines attended the house and four remain to ensure the fire doesn’t start up again.
The fire was in the roof space of the property and firefighters used ladders to access the roof, stripping the thatch away to access the roof space below.
They also used thermal imaging cameras to locate the seat of the fire so that they could target it and prevent it from catching the rest of the roof.
A fire break has been used to prevent the spread of the ongoing fire.
