Investigations are underway into the cause of a major blaze along headland at La Pulente late last night.
After receiving several 999 calls reporting a “large area of headland alight” around 21:00 on Sunday, the Fire and Rescue Service sent four of its White Watch team to La Pulente.
Soon after, four more arrived to tackle the fire, backed up by colleagues from the Ambulance Service who had been helping at another incident.
At the height of the blaze, which could be seen from above, there were 15 firefighters, three engines and one water carrier tackling it.
While the exact cause of the fire is not yet known, Crew Commander Simon Le Maistre took urged islanders to remember that, “due to the current spell of dry weather that we have experienced, and more forecast, it is important [to] take care when disposing of any hot materials.”
