Firefighters have battled a large grass fire in a field behind homes in Bristol today (August 7). Fire crews were called to the blaze near Coleford Road in Southmead this evening.
The fire erupted just metres from the back gardens of houses on the quiet residential street. Photos from the scene show a large plume of smoke rising behind the homes.
The blaze measured around 100 metres, a spokesman for Avon Fire and Rescue Service has revealed. Three crews worked at the scene to extinguish the fire.
