Firefighters are battling a blaze that has broken out at an outbuilding in an allotment in Great Yarmouth.

Emergency services were called at 12.33pm on Tuesday (August 9) to reports of a fire at the allotments on Freemantle Road and Caister Road.

Two appliances are in attendance from Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, who arrived at the scene at 12.44pm.

Aerial pictures show smoke billowing into the air as the blaze rages on, coving the nearby road.

Crews wore breathing apparatus and used main and hose reel jets supplemented by a hydrant to extinguish the fire.

They then used a thermal imaging camera to check for hot spots.

The fire was resolved by 1.54pm.

The blaze comes just days before an amber weather warning of extreme heat is in place for much of Norfolk, which puts the county at greater risk of fires.
