Burnham-On-Sea fire crew
tackles reed bed fire at Berrow
These were the scenes at Berrow on Thursday evening (April 17th)
after Burnham-On-Sea
fire-fighters
tackled
a big blaze in the reeds besides the beach.
 A
large area of land was left damaged, as pictured here, after the
fire broke out at around 4.30pm south west of Berrow Church.
One
fire engine from Burnham-On-Sea attended the scene.
"The
crew used two hose reels, a water pump and beaters to extinguish
it," fire spokeswoman Janet Booth told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
Several
hundred metres of the reed beds were scorched in the blaze, bringing
back memories of a huge
fire at the same location in 2004.
