Fire fighters were called to a fire in a skip full of tyres and cables.
Two engines from Dunmow and Leaden Roding were called at 7pm last night to Gypsy Lane, Little Dunmow.
The contents of the 20m long skip were completely alight and firefighters put out the fire just after 10pm.
It is believed the fire was started deliberately.
