Fire fighters tackled two blazes involving a field of hay in the same road this afternoon.
Four crews were called at about 12.15pm and then at about 1pm to Middle Street in Nazeing, where they found a total of six acres alight.
They used four hose reel jets and beaters to bring the fires under control and they were both out by 1.40pm.
