Three crews tackled a large gorse fire at Goonhilly Downs on Monday (January 20).

The Mullion Community Fire Station were called out to the fire and were assisted by crews from two neighbouring stations, St. Keverne and Helston, who were all collectively helping to tackle the blaze which covered a large area of gorse.

A spokesperson for the Cornwall Fire & Rescue Service said: “One crew from Mullion attended a large unattended fire involving commercial waste.

“The fire was extinguished and details have been passed to the Environment Agency and Community and Environmental Protection within Cornwall Council.”
