fire! between gardens of whateley & bawdale rd

firefighters putting it out,

thank god it didn't do more damage than it has!

Yes, pretty scary stuff, what with the 15ft flames & the trees in their garden catching fire. I was really relieved when the fire engines arrived. Bonfire/BBQ gone badly wrong??

not sure what it was but i heard a huge bang! when i looked out of the window the fire was up in the air & spreading fast!

by the time i called 999 they were already on route....

thankfully the firefighters put it out fairly quickly!

what would we do without our emergency services? its at times like these we realise how important they really are!

Sounds scary, hope nobody was hurt or major damage done?
