Fire Service called to hedge fire yesterday

The Island's Fire Service says it tackled another countryside fire yesterday.

Crews from Castletown and Port Erin were called to a field in Ballabag near the Steam Railway line shortly after 3.30pm.

They found 40 square metres of hedge along the line was on fire.

Railway staff managed to put the blaze out and firefighters spent around 40 minutes damping down the area.

It's the latest in a series of hedge and foliage fires during the heatwave.
