Firefighting crews were called to multiple reports of fires at the Barr Beacon Local Nature Reserve over the weekend.
On Saturday 13 August at approximately 4.27pm, crews from Perry Barr and Aldridge were alerted to a fire on a large area of grassland on Barr Beacon Hill. On attendance, trees were also reported to be alight.
Firefighters stayed at the scene until 4.30am to extinguish the fires and attended the site again on Sunday after further fires had ignited due to the dry conditions. Firefighters tackled fires on Barr Beacon Hill throughout the day to dampen hot spots.
A final check of the area was made on Monday morning with no further incidents reported.
