Firefighters tackle 15-acre fire in field
By Bethany Winter | 9th August 2022
Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service were in attendance at an incident near Drybrook on Saturday, August 6.
The fire service was called at 12.38pm on Saturday, August 6, to a fire in a field of cut straw and hay near Drybrook.
The fire covered 15 acres and also affected a tractor and a hay baler.
Five fire engines, two from Coleford, one from Cinderford, one from Ross-on-Wye and one from Whitchurch, used hose reels and breathing apparatus to extinguish the fire.
The stop signal was received at 2.38pm.
Thanks to crews/partner agencies working hard this afternoon to bring the fire in Didmarton under control. The fire spread to over 110,000sq metres and caused damage to farm machinery, but quick intervention has prevented any damage to property. We’ll be here well into the night. pic.twitter.com/mXCwerGXvW
