Firefighters called twice to Leighton Buzzard garden as bush fire reignites

A crew were called to Nelson Road on Friday (July 24) at 10.38am to douse burning shrubs in a rear garden.

But they were called back just over one hour later – putting out the reignited fire and cutting back the shrubbery.

The incident comes as Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service are reminding people that dry grass and fields "can catch fire quickly".

Meanwhile, Bedfordshire councils are also sharing a joint appeal against bonfires as the country experiences exceptionally hot weather.
