Large blaze near Two Bridges
A gorse fire on Dartmoor on Easter Monday is being treated as arson.
Devon and Dorset Fire and Rescue were alerted to the blaze just before 9.30pm to what was described a hedge fire on the side of the road at Dunnabridge, to the east of Two Bridges.
When they got there, crews confirmed a large area of gorse was well alight and requested further assistance. Two fire crews from Tavistock and a water bowser from Plympton joined the first one from Yelverton.
Crews used low pressure hose reel jets and allowed the fire burn out to a natural fire break to extinguish the fire.
The cause of the fire was deliberate and police are investigating.
