Grass fire scorches fell near Coniston

A SQUARE kilometre of grassland has been left scorched by a large fire that broke out in South Lakeland yesterday.

Four fire engines and a Land Rover battled for more than three hours to bring the blaze, on a steep fellside to the east of Coniston, under control.

Fire fighters from Coniston, Ambleside, Windermere and Broughton-in-Furness used hoses and beaters to extinguish the blaze, which had taken hold in grass and gorse at 9.45pm.

No one was injured by the fire.
