Today, we want to say a huge thank you to the crews from all 35 stations across Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service as well as the 18 fire services from around the country who have supported us over the past week.
600 Suffolk firefighters have been in attendance overall, along with supporting crews from London, Dorset and Wiltshire, Leicestershire, Kent, Surrey, Gloucestershire and Dersley, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Herefordshire and Worcester, West Midlands, Essex, Norfolk, Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Devon and Somerset, Oxfordshire, West Yorkshire and East Sussex.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone involved in the response, which has included more than 150 people from support organisations, including the Salvation Army and many local farmers, as well as groundworks crews at Sizewell C, the RSPB, Natural England and our team.
Although progress has been made, it still remains a live scene and Dunwich Heath remains closed. Hidden hotspots, unstable ground, ash and ongoing firefighting activity continue to present risks.
Thank-you for your understanding and your support. 💜
