The blaze, which started on Wednesday evening, has led to power cuts affecting 116 customers in three postcodes, with UK Power Networks working to restore supply. Despite the proximity, operator EDF Energy has confirmed there is no current risk to the Sizewell B nuclear power station, though authorities are monitoring the "live and dynamic" situation. The fast-moving fire has necessitated the evacuation of residents from coastal properties and caravans, and has spread to the RSPB Minsmere nature reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Fire chiefs anticipate tackling the "large-scale, wind-driven forestry fire" for at least another 24 to 48 hours, with efforts hampered by difficult terrain and limited access routes, following Suffolk's declaration of drought on Wednesday.
