Fire crews return to woodland as blaze reignites
Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service staff travelled to a remote area close to Barton Mills, near Mildenhall, at 05:00 BST for an inspection after Monday's incident.
They saw a large plume of smoke from a distance and, upon arrival, found 150m (492ft) of forest undergrowth well alight.
Six pumps have been called back to the scene, where eight fire crews and a tanker from RAF Lakenheath tackled the blaze on Monday.
Jon Lacey, the chief fire officer for Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service, told BBC Radio Suffolk he expected the crews to be "in and out" of the forest over the next few days.
"We'll keep vigilant, we'll keep an eye on the weather... we'll be checking how dry the woodland is, making sure fires don't restart after they've been extinguished and we regularly go back to check them," he said.
Mr Lacey said the fire service had seen a busier start to this year's wildfire season, likely due to previous wet weather causing foliage and grass to grow before recent warm weather dried it all out.
The cause of the fire is unknown at the moment, as Mr Lacey said it could be hard to determine where wildfires begin, but investigations were ongoing.
He urged people to remain cautious: "Please be careful not to have barbecues, open fires, or discard your cigarettes or matches anywhere where there might be forest, woodland or grass."

Council's plea to residents with 'devastating' flooding impacts
Monmouthshire County Council is inviting views on its draft Local Flood Risk Management Strategy. The public consultation aims to gather feedback from residents, businesses, and stakeholders to help shape the county's approach to managing flood risks from surface water, groundwater, and ordinary watercourses. Councillor Catrin Maby, cabinet member for climate change and the environment, said: "We know that flooding can have devastating impacts on people's lives and livelihoods. "This consultation is a vital step in ensuring our flood risk strategy reflects the needs and experiences of our communities. "We want to hear from as many people as possible." The draft strategy builds on the council's original 2013 plan and the 2016 Flood Risk Management Plan, both of which have guided flood management efforts to date. It also takes into account updated national guidance from the Welsh Government, new legislation, and lessons learned from recent major flood events. The revised strategy will guide flood risk management for the next six years. The consultation is available through the council's engagement platform, Let's Talk Monmouthshire. People can review the proposed strategy and complete a short survey by Friday, September 26, 2025. Paper copies are also available at community hubs. The council is also hosting drop-in sessions in August and September, where residents can speak directly with officers about the draft strategy. Details on session locations, dates, and times can be found on the Let's Talk Monmouthshire website.

"Not out of the woods yet," BC Wildfire Service warns of very dynamic fire situations
Tens of thousands of lightning strikes across British Columbia since Wednesday have created "a very dynamic" wildfire situation, with more than half the current fires started since the storms. Emelie Peacock, an information officer with the BC Wildfire Service, said a week of dry and hot weather combined with lightning led to many new fire starts. Since Wednesday, more than 35,000 lightning strikes were recorded across the province, Peacock said. Severe thunderstorm watches remained in place on Friday for a large swatch of the southern Interior and stretching to locations into the northeast. Above-seasonal temperatures, especially in the southern Interior, roasted many parts of the province earlier in the week, Peacock said. "So, we've certainly seen the southern parts of the province really come on board later in the season than we're used to, but the southern parts of the province are now fully in wildfire season," she said in an interview Friday. The lightning storms set off 65 new fires between Thursday and Friday, with some of them burning close to communities in the Interior, in the Fraser Canyon and on the Vancouver Island. There are about 130 active wildfires burning in the province. While she said the cooling trend and showers "are going to help us out," the province isn't "completely out of the woods yet." "We will likely see new wildfire starts, what we call holdover lightning fires," said Peacock, adding the holdover fires usually take several days to become visible. Residents who were rushed out of their homes by a wildfire near Peachland on Wednesday were allowed to return home. The Central Okanagan Emergency Operations Centre said those at 118 properties were allowed to go home on Friday, a day after residents of about 380 homes were allowed to return. The centre said those in the 118 homes must remain on evacuation alert, although all alerts had been lifted for another 490 properties. The BC Wildfire Service said the blaze near Peachland has been classified as being held and is no longer out of control. The Nanaimo Regional District on Vancouver Island declared a state of local emergency because of wildfire burning on the north banks of Cameron Lake, about 60 kilometres from the City of Nanaimo. Homes on the north side of the lake have been ordered evacuated, while other nearby properties have been put on evacuation alert. The district said 289 properties were put on evacuation alert, while a few dozen were evacuated Thursday. Peacock said the fire, which is measured at just under a square kilometre in size and visible from Highway 4, is "burning aggressively" in terrain that is difficult to access. More than 40 firefighters and helicopters are working on the fire, and Peacock said Highway 4 is still open and unaffected. A wildfire south of Lytton, B.C., has been measured at just over 12-square kilometres in size and an evacuation order issued by the Lytton First Nation remains in place because of the blaze. The wildfire service says the fire is highly visible from Highway 1, and motorists are asked to use extra caution and be aware of their surroundings while passing through. While a cooling trend was coming for the province over the long weekend, Peacock said thunderstorm activity will continue in the North, and they will likely bring dry lightning. Peacock said people who want to get out and enjoy the long weekend are encouraged to check wildfire and driving information before they leave, as the wildfire situation is "very dynamic, and road conditions can change very quickly." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 1, 2025. Chuck Chiang, The Canadian Press
