Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) was called to a fire in Woodbridge, Thoroughfare, at around 4.35pm.
One man, who had parked up in the street, said the blaze was in M&Co, the clothing store.
“There are firemen everywhere,” he added.
“There are people reversing up the road and coming smashing out at the junction.
“It’s chaos.”
