Firefighters have been called to a blaze in a Fenland village this morning.

Crews are currently at the scene in Doddington Road, Wimblington.

They were called due to reports of an out of control bonfire. 

"It's lucky that the wind is blowing opposite way," said a resident who lives nearby. 

A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire Fire & Rescue Service said: "At 11.56am a crew from Chatteris was called to an out of control bonfire on Doddington Road in Wimblington.

"Firefighters arrived to find a bonfire spreading to nearby bushes.

"The crew used a hose reel to bring the fire under control and prevent it from further spread.

"They returned to their station by 1.30pm."
