Crews tackle warehouse blaze in early hours

Essex Fire and Rescue Service

Crews have been working through the early hours of the morning to tackle a blaze at a warehouse.

Essex County Fire & Rescue Service was called to a warehouse on Stour Road in Harwich at about 03:36 BST and about 35 firefighters had been sent.

As a lot of smoke was coming from the building, people living nearby were being advised to keep their windows and doors shut.

On social media, Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service said it had been receiving multiple calls from concerned people in the Ipswich and Felixstowe area, on the other side of the River Orwell estuary, but it reiterated the smoke was coming from Harwich.
