Dunwich Heath Fire Under Control | UK News

A massive heathland fire in Suffolk, which scorched 150 hectares and drew over 600 firefighters, has officially been downgraded from a major incident — but the danger isn’t over. Crews remain on-site to extinguish hidden hotspots as dry conditions still pose serious risks. Homes and a caravan park were evacuated, rare wildlife at RSPB Minsmere was threatened, and the National Trust has raised $350K for recovery. East Suffolk Council now leads restoration efforts, with key roads reopening and villages back open — though officials urge extreme caution around fire hazards. The community is rallying to rebuild Dunwich Heath, one step at a time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
