There is also a risk of the smoke clogging up the filters of the site’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, which draws air from outside.” BREAKING: A major incident has been declared in Suffolk after a “significant wildfire” broke out on Dunwich Heath tonightSizewell B, the UK’s biggest nuclear power station, is 4 miles away pic.twitter.com/nDMLNk8jt6— Politics UK (@PolitlcsUK) July 29, 2026“Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service has warned that the blaze could continue for another two days, and said it was treating the fire as a ‘live and dynamic situation’.Hundreds of properties have been evacuated as firefighters tackle the large heathland blaze.”Wildfires are now sweeping through Suffolk, UK, as emergency crews tackle a major blaze just miles from a nuclear power station, which has been placed on high alert. pic.twitter.com/Z7uEsF91EP— Weather Monitor (@WeatherMonitors) July 30, 2026Read more:NOW: Raging Wildfires Approaching French Missile and Rocket Factories/*!
