Fire crews used 70,000 litres of water on wildfires

The Island's fire crews used 70,000 litres of water to put out fires this week.

They responded to calls in the Port Soderick area yesterday and the day before, where fields had set alight.

Thousands of litres of water was used to extinguish and dampen down, with hose lines running across the steam railway track.

The wildfires were caused by the tinder dry weather conditions, and crews urge the public to be sensible as temperatures are due to build through the week.
