They attended the incident in woodland between Lanes End and Hurst Point View this morning (Monday).

According to firefighters, rubbish and alcohol was also left behind.

A spokesperson said:

'Please do refrain from lighting fires of any kind in our beautiful country side and please take your rubbish away with you. In dry weather with a bit of a breeze like today this could easily have spread destroying the countryside, wildlife, livestock and homes.

'Please look after our beautiful Island.'
