Field Fire Tackled By West Wight Firefighters

Firefighters from Freshwater responded to reports of a fire in the open at Dunsbury yesterday (Wednesday).

The single retained crew went to the scene between Compton and Brook at just before 7pm last night.

The fire was quickly isolated, with a further water carrying appliance also mobilised to the scene.

It comes as the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service has warned of the increased risk of wildfires during the current hot spell.
