Dozens of people in Surrey have been forced to leave their homes after a major fire broke out on Friday afternoon, which the local fire service has declared as a major incident.
The fire started in an area called Clobham Common before spreading to a golf course, which put a stop to a ladies golfing tournament.
Firefighters are still battling the blaze, which covered 150 acres of land at its peak and reportedly forced 120 people to leave their homes.
Residents are still not allowed to return to their homes as several small fires continue to burn.
The fire service warned the public on Twitter to stay clear of the Clobham Common area.
In a follow-up tweet, they declared the fire severity to be at Level 4, which means the risk of wildfires and rapid spread of fire can occur.
Around 30 fire trucks and emergency vehicles were sent to tackle the flames at their peak, and it is reported that crews will remain at the scene till next week.
Michael Gove, MP for Surrey Heath, tweeted that he was “horrified by the damage this wildfire has done to Clobham Common.”
