The latest video footage from the Suffolk coastal heathland has captured the extent of the damage to the natural landscape.
The fire engulfed 150 hectare at its height – equivalent to the size of 210 football pitches – affecting Dunwich Heath and RSPB Minsmere.
The blaze, which started at about 17:00 BST on Wednesday, has been “stabilised” and crews have been tackling hotspots as they appear.
Henry Griffin, deputy chief fire officer at Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service, said: “The windspeed and temperatures continue to pose some challenges to firefighters, and while it is stabilised, it is still a dynamic incident that is seeing multiple reignitions.”
