BREAKING NEWS: GB News halted for devastating breaking news alert as ‘major incident’ declared
GB News came to a halt to deliver a crucial update on the wildfires ripping through parts of Suffolk. The breaking news banner appeared on the screen, revealing Britain is “on alert” for further wildfires.
Although the fire in Suffolk is “stabilising”, GB News correspondent Sam Francis warned it is far from over and declared it a “major incident”.
Speaking to presenters Stephen Dixon and Dawn Neesom, he continued: “The blaze has been continuing throughout the night. Firefighters, at least 100 personnel on the scene tackling the blaze and it is still a major incident.
“We do have a better sense of the scale of the blaze. It broke out on Wednesday evening and has now been burning for some 48 hours plus, and has affected a huge area of land on the Suffolk coastline.”
He added: “Some 150 hectares have already burned through and that number is expected to continue growing, despite the fact they say it is stabilising.”
