THE Bovey Tracey Fire Brigade were called to a wood in Heathfield on Sunday, interrupting the Family Fun Day in Mill Marsh Park.

The fire was found in an area of woodland by the A38, close to a primary school and residential homes.

Several more fires have been reported throughout the week, but have been safely put out by members of the public.

Bovey Fire Station stated: ‘We are still forecasted to continue this hot, dry weather over the coming days and weeks. We once again urge our communities not to use disposable barbecues or campfires in these dry conditions.’
