Recent Suffolk Incidents

Suffolk Fire Service sees its fair share of interesting incidents and like most brigades, these vary from one pump rubbish fires to 25 pump CentreParcs blaze in 2002 and everything in between.

This page is intended to highlight some of these as and when myself and others can get to the incidents to get you some photos.  As you can appreciate this is not a definative list of incidents and any photos taken are done so with the permission of the senior officer and/or the police.
