St Mary's firefighters called to another Bryher fire

St Mary’s and Tresco firefighters were called out to assist Bryher’s crew on Saturday evening.

The Bryher team were called just after 7pm to a fire on Watch Hill. It seemed to be a bonfire that had become out of control.

This is the third fire on the island this year. Early in the year crews were called to an out of control gorse fire on Shipman’s Head (see photo). Then in April the Bryher team were called out to a bonfire that had spread at Veronica Farm.

Firefighters continued to put out the fire until about 830pm.
