Dorset heathland fires: Sixth incident in four days

Video shows fire battling a sixth fire in fours days on heathland in Dorset.

The fire service said over 30 calls about the fire on Higher Blandford Road near Corfe Hills School in Poole came in on Tuesday shortly after 19:30 BST.

Ten crews and a water carrier were sent to the fire which destroyed two hectares (five acres) of heathland.

This follows five fires that were started deliberately on heathland in Poole and Bournemouth on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
