Wildfire guts 1,230 acres of Dartmoor land

|May 07, 2025
A WILDFIRE has destroyed about 1,230 acres of moorland on Dartmoor in Devon.
Emergency services received multiple calls alerting them to the blaze at about 2.25pm on Sunday, and firefighters tackled it for almost 24 hours until it was extinguished on Monday.
People were asked to avoid the Merrivale and Okehampton areas while the incident was ongoing, with Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service saying the fire may behave “unpredictably” with the changing weather.
It comes after the UK saw the warmest start to May on record, with 29.3C registered on Thursday afternoon at Kew Gardens, in south-west London, as firefighters battled a 2km moorland blaze which broke out near Ripponden, West Yorkshire, the same day.
