Firefighters are tackling a large grass fire at a public green space.

Avon Fire and Rescue Service responded to reports of a fire near the Dower House on Stoke Park Estate in Bristol, at about 15:30 BST on Thursday.

Crews from Temple, Kingswood and Southmead are at the scene working to extinguish the flames and dampen the dry grass to prevent it from spreading.

A spokesperson said the situation was “under control”.

The estate, which sits beside the M32, is a local Site of Nature Conservation Interest covering more than 100 hectares.
