Crews worked to prevent fire from spreading across grassland
A lightning strike is believed to be the cause of a tree fire in Buckinghamshire last night.
Firefighters were called out to Dinton at around 8pm on Tuesday (22 June) where crews discovered a well developed fire in a hollow willow tree.
Emergency response teams from Waddesdon and Chesham's wildfire unit attended the fire on Upton Road.
Firefighters used water backpacks to contain and extinguish the fire, ensuring surrounding grassland was protected from the growing flames.
