Field fire
Chalkshire Road, Butlers Cross
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

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.
