This morning, firefighters tackled a blaze on a railway embankment near Keristal in Santon which involved around 40 metres of gorse.

This afternoon, crews from Ramsey were called to a grass fire near Andreas airfield which saw flames across 30 square metres of grass.

And this evening, crews from Castletown dealt with another railway fire - this time near Balckboards.
