FIRE crews from across the district were called to a heath fire at Ellicombe just after midday on Friday. Four pumping appliances and six specialist appliances, including a Supercat from Porlock and a Brendan pump from Dulverton, were called to the blaze. Crews from Minehead, Porlock, Dulverton, Lynton, Williton and Bridgwater tackled the fire using beaters and specialist equipment. At its height, the blaze covered four acres of heathland and took several hours to bring under control. Photo: Steve Guscott
