A fire - thought to have been caused by a barbecue - destroyed multiple gardens and damaged more than a dozen homes in one street.
Fire crews were called to Chelmsford, Essex, around 10pm last night after a garden caught alight and quickly spread to a group of conifer trees.
Firefighters from Essex County Fire and Rescue Service arrived in Greenwood Close to find a well-developed blaze involving around 15 homes and several sheds and outbuildings.
