A significant wildfire has broken out on Dunwich Heath in Suffolk, prompting fire services to declare a major incident due to its "size and complexity." The blaze has rapidly expanded, now covering an area equivalent to more than 200 football pitches, according to Suffolk's fire service.
The fire ignited on Wednesday, and aerial footage has shown its destructive path across the heathland. Firefighting efforts are underway to contain the rapidly growing flames.
The extent of the wildfire has raised concerns about its impact on the local environment and the resources required for its extinguishment.
