Smoke plumes could be seen across Ipswich after a fire broke out in a field near a traveller's site.
Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service received reports of the blaze near West Meadows just before 6.05pm on Monday.
Fire crews from Ipswich East and Princes Street, as well as an all-terrain unimog, attended the scene.
A spokeswoman for the service said: "It is believed to have been a controlled burn, but crews used chromes, which are similar to pitchforks, and small equipment, including a hose reel from the Unimog, to extinguish the fire."
The fire covered an area measuring approximately 25m by 10m.
Eyewitnesses saw the smoke from the car park at Asda near Anglia Retail Park.
The stop message was given at 8.21pm and the incident was closed at 9.09pm.
