Hot weather warning after large open land blaze

Jersey Fire Service said the two crews were able to extinguish the flames

Firefighters have issued a hot weather warning in Jersey after tackling a large blaze on open land.

Jersey Fire Service said it was called to Greve de Lecq at about 16:00 BST on Thursday to the incident which covered an area measuring 20m by 100m (65ft by 328ft).

A Facebook post from the service said two crews extinguished the flames and remained at the scene to make the area safe.

The service added people should take extra caution while visiting open land during the current spell of hot weather as fires could "ignite easily and spread rapidly in dry conditions".
