Bonfire sparks open land blaze at Corbiere

Tuesday, 25 August 2026 06:33

A bonfire was the cause of a blaze on open land at Corbiere.

Firefighters were called out late afternoon on Monday (24 August), with the flames spreading quickly in strong winds.

Crews worked to stop them reaching nearby homes.

No one was injured, and the Fire Service's rapid response ensured the buildings were protected.

JFRS says, despite the odd shower, the land and vegetation is still extremely dry and people should not be lighting bonfires.
