Five fire crews have been called to tackle a large straw bale blaze in Great Yarmouth tonight.

The call came in at about 7.30pm (November 11) with reports of a fire on farmland off Mill Road.

A stack of about 60 straw bales is estimated to be alight. 

A Norfolk Fire and Rescue spokesperson said crews will remain on the scene for the next four to five hours.

They are also working to ensure the safety of neighbouring properties on the farmland. 

Crews from Gorleston, Great Yarmouth, Acle, Hethersett and Carrow are in attendance.
