As investigations continue into a major blaze at Kelsale Hall overnight, Suffolk Fire Service is reminding us not to leave tumble dryers on overnight.

Commander Ian Bowell said: "I think the pace of life is absolutely rapid today - we want everything now and we're all under pressure to do things as quickly as possible. 

"We try and be efficient with time and perhaps when we're asleep we put our tumble dryer on so the clothes are drying overnight. Perhaps we're encouraged to use more efficient electricity tariffs, but I would urge people that tumble driers are a cause of fire.

"[We] should not use tumble dryers overnight, or when the property is unoccupied because fire can take hold, and if it's unseen, we've seen the consequences."

Commander Ian Bowell from Suffolk Fire Service said the remote location of Kelsale Hall made it quite difficult to access a water supply to tackle the fire that broke out there yesterday evening.

"The house is set in some quite substantial grounds," she said.

"There was a pond reasonably close nearby which we were able to set our pumps into, but obviously that takes time and resources.

"We also had to take water from a hydrant - the nearest hydrant was back on the A12 so we had to put restrictions on the A12 with the support of the police, and then run a water relay probably the best part of a quarter of a mile."

Suffolk Fire Service say the main part of Kelsale Hall has been totally destroyed by fire: "The annexe has been saved, although given the smoke and the severity of the fire that has suffered some damage as well."

Commander Ian Bowell added: "Whilst I say it was a tumble drier, I think we shold allow the investigation to completely exhaust all other options but early indications [are that] yes, it was a tumble drier seen to be alight.

"But we're there to rule out all other possible causes as well. 

"It's certainly not being treated as a suspicious fire, but it is early stages of the investigation."

Fire crews were called to Kesale Hall at 17:45 on Wednesday evening.

Suffolk Fire Service say there were people at Kelsale Hall when fire broke out yesterday evening, but "they got out, there were no reports of any injuries".

Commander Ian Bowell said: "We received a call just before 18:00 to reports of a tumble drier on fire and when crews arrived they found a fire on the ground floor.

"As they fought to tackle that, they also discovered that because of the construction of the house, fire had spread through voids both below ground level into the basement, but also up into the roof space which was another two storeys further up. 

"By the time we had a water supply established, the fire had took a good hold and destroyed most of the building."
