Essex fire crews working hard to contain 'challenging' blaze
|The controlled burn is still being tackled after efforts overnight
Firefighters from Coggeshall, Braintree, Halstead and Wethersfield have been tacking a wood pile which was fully alight in Bradwell.
Crews used a water bowser from Halstead to supply large amounts of water to the incident overnight (1 July).
Firefighters are still carrying out a control burn until the scene is safe to hand back over to the owner (2 July).
Station Manager Adrian Richardson said: "Crews have been working hard to surround the fire and get it under control, which has been challenging especially in this hot temperature. We're working with the farmer to redirect the fire back into the stack to stop it from spreading.
"We will be here for the rest of the evening to carry out a controlled burn."
