At 10:37 this morning Two crews from Dorchester were mobilised to a property fire in West Knighton involving a tumble dryer.

On arrival crews were met with a well developed fire throughout the property and an assistance message went back to our control requesting another appliance, which came from Weymouth Fire Station.

The crews worked hard to extinguish the fire and preventing further fire spread using two hosereel jets and one mainline with four firefighters wearing breathing apparatus.

This afternoon two crews from Dorchester were called to a fire next to a A354 near Littlemoor to assist a crew from Weymouth.

The fire affected a large area of vegetation and further crews from Bridport Fire Station, L4P from Blandford Fire Station and a water carrier from Poole Fire Station attened.

Multiple hosereel jets were used to extinguish the fire and dampen down the area.

We would like to thank the public due to crews needing to park on the relief road, closing one lane so we could get the fire under control.
