Authorities evacuated homes and a caravan park in Suffolk on [insert date, e.g., Tuesday] as firefighters battled a major wildfire near a nuclear power station. The blaze, burning four miles from the Sizewell B plant, prompted operator EDF to raise the facility's alert status to "high," according to The Times. No injuries have been reported, and the plant continues to operate safely, officials said. Fire crews are working to contain the flames, which have spread across dry grassland and woodland, with reinforcements called in from neighboring counties. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
