Fire crews work through the night on large bonfire in Woburn Sands

    Fire Crews from across Bucks and Beds attended a large fire in Woburn Sands on Thursday (26/5).

    Crews were called to Paddocks Lane in Woburn Sands at around 9:46 PM on Thursday 26th May, where they then worked through the night and following day.

    Two appliances and crews from West Ashland, two from Bedfordshire, one from Aylesbury and one from Newport Pagnell attended the scene where a large pile of trees and shrubs measuring approximately 20 metres by 20 metres and approximately 3 metres high were on fire, generating a lot of smoke.

    The firefighters used one ground monitor, two main jets, one hay drag and shovels to put out the fire.

    The incident response was scaled back at around 1.20am on Friday (27 May 2022), however crews remained on the scene into the following afternoon (Friday 27 May) damping down and turning over the smouldering pile of organic waste.
