This morning, three crews are still on the scene dampening down. Because of the incident, Cressing Road between Coggeshall Road and Trotters Field is closed, and motorists are advised to seek alternate routes.

Our crews were dispatched shortly after midnight to a fire in a 15-metre-by-five-metre thatched roof cottage. The occupants were able to flee the property. The roof has been destroyed, and the cause of the fire will be thoroughly investigated.
