Fire!

A fire in Upper Wardington caused by dry pine needles and leylandii cuttings is being put out behind Brakespear's barn as your correspondent is writing.

The fire hydrant in the road by the old pool was used to supply water to the fire appliances and the children were on hand to ensure that there was enough torchlight for the firefighters to see the connection!
