A Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service crew were called to tackle a large grass fire over the weekend.

The incident occurred just over the border with Wales, with a crew from Kingsland Fire Station supporting colleagues from Presteigne Fire Station.

A spokesperson for Kingsland Fire Station (Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service) said:

“The crew have returned from a job over the border in Wales.

“A fire had spread over a large patch of dried grass.

“We backed up our colleagues from Gorsaf Dân ac Achub Llanandras/Presteigne Fire Station by supplying them with water and helping to contain the spread of fire and dealing with hotspots.”
