Several fires have been dealt with along the Guild Wheel near Brockholes.

Firefighters from Preston Fire Station tackled the unattended camp fires and grass fires today (Saturday 3 April).

The fire service’s Polaris six-wheel drive wildfire unit was used to combat the blazes.

On Twitter, a spokesperson for Preston Fire Station asked people to be mindful of the dry conditions, which can cause fires to spread.
