Thick smoke is filling gardens as a large grass fire spreads near homes.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS) were first called to the Grange Hill area of West Kirby in Wirral, at 5.27pm on Tuesday, August 9, following reports of smoke in the area. Once three fire engines arrived at the scene they found a 200mx50m section of grass well alight.
Firefighters also spotted another area of grass on fire, closer to Leigh Road, and requested backup at around 5.29pm. Another fire engine arrived at the scene shortly after and found another 100mx100m square of grass alight.
