Fire crews are attending a field fire near Firestone Copse on the outskirts of Binstead this afternoon (Friday) as temperatures soar.
2 fire appliances from Ryde and Newport and a water carrier from Ventnor are in attendance at the scene off Newnham Lane.
The incident began shortly before 15:00 and has affected an area around 100x100m.
The situation, in a remote field behind Newnham Farm, is now under control but crews remain on scene.
If you see a fire in the countryside, contact the fire service immediately on 999. Do not attempt to tackle fires that cannot be put out with a bucket of water.
Remember, do not discard cigarettes or other smoking materials in the countryside. It is also important to clear away bottles, glasses and any broken glass to avoid them magnifying the sun and starting a fire.
Always take extra care if using a barbecue and only light fires or BBQs in designated areas. Never leave a campfire or BBQ unattended and extinguish them properly after you have finished using them.
Not the best place for a bonfire!
