FIREFIGHTERS have been tackling a fierce blaze at farm buildings in Beach Road, St Osyth.

Five crews were called in to battle the blaze just after 2am this morning.

A 200m exclusion zone was put in place because of the threat of exploding gas cylinders involved in the blaaze.

Crews also experienced a lack of water supply as they battled to stop the fire spreading.

A joint police and fire service investigation will be carried out to establish the cause of the incident. But this will not take place until the exclusion zone has been lifted.

Crews are expected to remain at the scene for some time.
