Dramatic drone footage has revealed the scale of a large wildfire that tore through Holt Heath over the weekend. Fire crews from across the southwest joined forces with Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service to battle the blaze, which threatened crops, wildlife, and vital natural habitats.

Officials warn that with temperatures expected to rise again this week, the risk of further wildfires remains high. Residents and visitors are urged to take extra precautions to prevent accidental ignition in the area.
