A MASSIVE muck heap is ablaze in a Suffolk village leaving firefighters to battle the flames.

A crew from Colchester Road is on the scene of the blaze, in Maple Tree Farm, Clopton Road, Tuddenham, where 250 tonnes of duck muck caught fire at around 3.45pm today.

Firefighters are using two jets and an emergency water supply to get the flames under control, with assistance from a JCB truck which is turning over the muck to find any remaining hotspots.
