300 'Fire In The Open' Call-Outs For Isle Of Wight And Hampshire Services

Isle of Wight and Hampshire fire services have been called to around 300 fires in the open in the month of May.

The Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is urging Islanders to be responsible when having bonfires.

Posting on Twitter, the fire service said:

As Isle of Wight Radio previously reported, firefighters on the Island have responded to a number of blazes over the last month.

One of which was thought to have been started deliberately.

On that occasion, crews were alerted to a fire in a hollow tree in Freshwater.
