Police and the East of England Ambulance Service are also in attendance. 

Micha Eden Erdesz who lives nearby saw billowing smoke near a church spire and "what sounded like fireworks."

"I first thought it was the church renovation project after I ruled out a bonfire on the green due to its intensity," he said.

"When I arrived there was already water pouring down School Street from the engines and many fire services in action.

"They were cooling the buildings on all sides to stop them catching alight."

This is an ongoing incident with more to follow.
