FIREFIGHTERS are tackling a blaze in a garden.

More than 30 people called Essex Fire and Rescue Service to alert them to a blaze in Chitts Hill, Colchester, which could be spotted from the A12.

Two crews arrived at the property just before noon and found two sheds were on fire and flames had spread to the undergrowth.

The fire was out by 12.45pm.

An investigation will now be launched to find the cause of the blaze.
