Pictures show firefighters battling ‘serious’ fire at office block at Adastral Park, Martlesham

These pictures show firefighters battling a serious blaze at an office block in Martlesham.

Seven crews spent three hours at an office block at Adastral Park yesterday, having been alerted at 10.41am.

In total, two crews from Princes Street Ipswich and one each from Ipswich East, Felixstowe, Beccles, Leiston and Debenham attended the scene.

Additional crews were required due to the complexity of the fire, a spokesman for Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said.

A team of 12 firefighters wearing breathing equipment went into the building to put out the fire and clear smoke.

Suppression systems inside the building were also use to extinguish the flames.

The SFRS spokesman said no one was injured in the blaze and it was quickly brought under control, limiting damage from fire and smoke.

The incident was dealt with by 1.59pm.

An investigation into the cause of the fire is due to start next week.
