It's thought no one's been injured in a blaze at a cricket pavilion in Bures Saint Mary overnight.
The building has been completely destroyed by the fire and police are treating the incident as arson.
Crews established a water supply from river using a light portable pump and one main pump. Four 45mm jets were used, alongside four main jets and two hose reel jets.
A spokesperson for the fire service said: "The roof and building structure of the outbuilding at the cricket pavilion has completely collapsed."
Police are appealing for witnesses and information.
