Smoke is still being reported in Wells-next-the-Sea following a major fire.
Norfolk Constabulary, the RNLI Wells lifeboat and Wells and Hunstanton Coastguard Rescue Teams attended the blaze in East Hills at around 2pm on Thursday.
The fire service has since issued a statement saying that the blaze is continuing to produce smoke which is visible from the town.
A spokesman explained: "We are currently monitoring it using drones and cameras and have a crew in Wells.
"Due to tides and the isolated location we will return to scene later today.
"There is no need for further 999 calls."
On Thursday afternoon, police confirmed a man had been arrested on suspicion of arson and was being questioned.
