A helicopter has crash landed at Hadleigh near Southend.
Striking fire fighters from a nearby station have left their picketline to attend, alongside army response vehicles.
The helicopter is reported to have crash-landed in a field at Poors Lane just before one o'clock.
Police say the single engined Gazelle helicopter developed a fault as it was landing. The aircraft got caught in boggy ground, flipped over onto its side, and caught fire, although the pilot was able to walk away with minor injuries.
A fire-engine from nearby Hadleigh Fire Station went to the scene. An army green Goddess, and two specialist rescue units were also dispatched.
Police have contacted the Air Accident Investigation Branch to look into the cause of the accident.
