Wennington Fire Last Night

Drove past on the A13 westbound around 9pm last night (7th July) and saw a huge fire with over a dozen fire trucks in attendance.

I understand it was the stack of pallets going up in flames, but from my vantage point - it looked like the houses in the picture were on fire in the foreground as well (the A13 is off to the left about half a mile from this picture’s vantage point)


Is it me - or is there a rather alarming increase in this kind of fire of late?

Seems to have made the news after all…
