East Lothian beauty spot goes up in smoke as fire crews rush to put out BBQ fire

An emergency fire crew were called out to an East Lothian beauty spot this week after it went up in smoke.

Firefighters were pictured on Monday (June 20) as they worked to extinguish the blaze at Gullane beach after the dunes caught alight. Large plumes of smoke were seen heading upwards from the beach, with an area of the beauty spot cordoned off to allow crews to remove hot coals left on the ground.

In a warning issued on social media on Tuesday, East Lothian rangers said the fire had thought to have been started by the BBQ coals being ditched on the dunes.
