Fri, 19 Jun 2020

Firefighters tackled an unattended bonfire in the north of the Island yesterday.

Crews from Ramsey on arrival found the fire that was in danger of spreading to nearby trees and hedges.

They set up a water relay from a nearby river to pump water to the scene to extinguish the fire.

Crews spent approximately an hour and a half extinguishing the fire, ensuring that the surrounding areas were dampened down too.
