A major wildfire on the Suffolk coast is expected to continue burning for another two days, but firefighters say efforts to contain it are "moving in the right direction". By Thursday afternoon, the fire had spread to around 150 hectares, an area roughly equivalent to 210 football pitches. Around 50 people have been evacuated from their homes and a local holiday park to Westleton, whose village hall now serves as a rest centre. The Dowsett family who were forced to evacuate from their holiday in the middle of the night shared their experience with Good Morning Britain.
