Firefighters battled a huge blaze that broke out at a home in a west Suffolk town.

A total of 12 Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service crews were sent to the scene in Cambridge Way, Haverhill, shortly before 11.30am on Monday.

Engines from Woodbridge, Sudbury, Haverhill, Cambridge, Wickhambrook, Ixworth, Clare and Long Melford fire stations were dispatched.

A spokesman for the fire service confirmed the blaze started in a house and was being brought under control by crew members.

However, the spokesman said the fire had started to spread to neighbouring properties.

It was later confirmed by the fire service that the blaze started in the living room of a terraced home.

No injuries have been reported in the incident, and the fire was brought under control within several hours.

Police are also at the scene and have closed the road, while people living in the area have been advised to close all doors and windows to prevent smoke from getting inside.
