Firefighters were called to this scene as a pile of rubbish caught light.
Motorists in Elstree Road, between Bushey Heath and Elstree, noticed smoke rising from a field next to the road early this afternoon.A spokesperson said: “One fire engine from Watford fire station was sent to the scene, where the crew found a large pile of rubbish on fire in a field.
“Firefighters extinguished the fire then turned over and damped down the rubbish to tackle remaining hotspots.”In a video taken from the scene, shortly before the fire service arrived, smoke can be seen drifting towards Bushey Heath but it does not appear that the fire was likely to spread beyond the large pile of refuse.We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
