The Chipping Norton fire crew have already had 13 call outs this month.

They varied from alarms to fires in the open, and also included a chimney fire.

During these jobs they worked with a crew from Rewley Road Fire Station who brought the Aerial Platform to assist with access at the chimney fire, and a 4x4 crew from Burford Fire Station who helped with the woodland fire.

The crew said: "Even though it is only April, it’s been dry and the risk of grass fires is high so please be careful with cigarettes, bonfires and BBQs. It only takes one stray spark to spread a fire."
