People who live in the area were urged to keep all doors and windows closed due to the smoke. 

Drone photographs by Phil Harris show the shocking damage from the fire. Posting to Facebook, Mr Harris credited farmer, Charlie Light, for making a fire break with 8RX before it could spread out of control.
