Firefighters tackled three separate blazes in a wooded area of Ipswich yesterday.

Two fire crews were called to Sandyhill Lane following reports of a 600-square metre blaze in an area of woodland shortly before 6.40pm.

Crews found two other fires measuring 150 square metres and 100 square metres.

All three blazes were extinguished and brought under control by 7.35pm, a Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said.
