A fire broke out in a building behind the Maypole Pub in Old Norwich Road in Ipswich at around 10.15pm on 6th September causing structural damage and damage to trees and bushes.
It was thought that butane cylinders were being stored in the outbuilding so fire crews tackled the blaze from a safe distance. It took firefighters from Colchester Road almost 2 hours to extinguish the blaze.
Watch manager said: “The building was fully engulfed on our arrival. At the present moment, we do not know how the fire started. We attacked the fire when we first arrived and found that cylinders were involved and reverted to the policy for fires with cylinders and fought it from a safe distance.”
