Fire breaks out at Radipole Nature Reserve

A fire broke out at around 11:30 am on 6th March at Radipole Nature Reserve in Weymouth.

Firefighters were called and they used beaters to put the fire out in addition to two main lines.

It seems that RSPB staff were carrying out conservation work with a controlled burn which went out of control.
