Field fire

One appliance and crew from Beaconsfield, one from Thame, two from Bedfordshire and one from Wheatley attended..

The fire was in a field of approximately 77 acres of standing crop.

The firefighters used:

• One main jet
• Three hose reel jets
• Five beaters

They established a water shuttle, and farm machinery was used to create a fire break to help prevent hotspots from spreading.

Around 50 per cent of the field was damaged by the fire, which also affected neighboring woodland.
