The fire started in a outbuilding of a commercial premises in Market Street, Newmarket.

Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service was called to the scene just after 4.50am.

Crews from Burwell, Mildenhall and Newmarket attended.

The fire service confirmed the flames had been fully extinguished - and recorded a 'stop message' - just before 6.35am.

A spokesman said the fire started in a storeroom close to the Deep Blue fish and chip restaurant, and was 'heavily developed' when crews arrived.

He said crews removed the roof of the storeroom in order to access the flames and prevent them spreading further.
