Oxfordshire County Council Fire and Rescue Service spokesman Chris Dyson said there were "few details at the moment", but added: "We are attending this fire.

"Fires on the road verges could be because of the hot weather."

He added that a call came in at 2:20pm and that four appliances are attending 'fires in field'. They are from Abingdon, Oxford, Wallingford, Wheatley.
