UNDERGROWTH fires have been ravaging a field in Crowthorne.
Firefighters from Bracknell fire station rushed to the scene of two fires on Wildmoor Heath near Owlsmoor Road, which had to be closed to traffic due to the large volumes of smoke drifting down the road.
The two blazes were attended by five fire engines at 5pm on Monday June 5 and it took crews three and a half hours to put them out.
Crew manager Richard Hamilton said: "There were reports of cattle near the area but they moved away and crews contained the fire before it reached where them.
"If anyone discovers a fire they should call 999 and don't try to put it out unless you are professionally trained."
Wildmoor has previously been the site of other undergrowth fires recently.
