Firefighters tackle gorse blaze
Firefighters in Devon have been called out to deal with a large gorse fire.

Twenty acres (about eight hectares) of gorse are said to be alight at Baggy Point near Croyde, which is in the north of the county.

Six fire engines are attempting to put out the flames, but strong winds are spreading the fire.

The blaze was reported to emergency services by a member of the public on Saturday afternoon.
