A bomb disposal unit was called on Saturday after firefighters tackling a huge blaze in Dorset discovered an unexploded WW2 bomb
Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue say the a disposable barbecue is likely to have been the cause of the huge blaze which saw a crew of 90 firefighters attempt to put it out at Studland Heath yesterday.
Official droughts have been declared in eight areas of southern and central England, and several grasslands have caught alight in these zones and beyond following the driest summer in half a century. London Fire Brigade crews have been captured beating back the flames at the scene of the blaze at the Leyton Flats wildlife reserve in east London.Picture: Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue
